DIY home repair can be less expensive and more rewarding than hiring it done but research is vital to avoiding pitfalls that can lead to greater expense
Kansas City Metro – The Kansas City Handyman recently updated his website with information about installing a ceramic tile tub surround. Kent Fischer, owner of HandyPro of Kansas City is not against offering tips to the DIY home repair enthusiast but he does warn about the high cost of doing some jobs incorrectly. Sometimes, hiring a handyman service or home remodeling contractor will save time and money while avoiding the frustration of having to tear out and redo the job.
According to the local handyman bathroom remodeling is one of the best ways to increase the value of a home but an inferior job can lead to water damage and great expense. A new tub surround must be designed and installed correctly to protect the rest of the home from mold growth and moisture damage, especially if the bathroom is located upstairs.
Preparation is the key to a satisfactory and durable bathroom remodeling project. Green drywall used to be the ideal surface or installing ceramic tile, but the local handyman recommends using cement board which is impervious to water. Though installation can be more challenging, the benefits outweigh the additional cost and labor. The final step to preparing the surface is to tape all the seams in the cement board.
