DIY or Hire a Handyman? A Simple Guide for Triangle Homeowners

Which home projects are good DIY jobs and which are worth handing to a handyman in Raleigh, Durham, Cary and the Triangle.

Good DIY projects

Changing HVAC filters, replacing a showerhead, tightening loose cabinet hardware, touch-up painting and basic caulking are great first projects.

Worth hiring out

Jobs that need special tools, ladders, or several hours of trial and error — drywall repair, trim work, mounting heavy items, deck repairs — often go faster and look better with a pro.

Anything involving major wiring, gas lines or structural work should go to a licensed specialist.

Bundle your to-do list

If you have several small jobs, list them together. One visit can knock out the whole list, saving you time.
