Is Countertop Replacement a Do It Yourself Project?

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Countertop replacement is a project that requires a lot of time and money. Many things need to be considered before you make the decision to do it yourself or to hire a contractor. Cost should not be the only determining factor in making this decision, but it definitely should be a factor.

You must first inspect your countertops to make certain that they need to be replaced. If there is significant damage, rot, or anything else catastrophic, then you probably need to replace them. Just refinishing a damaged countertop would only cause further damage in the long run and may cause an even more expensive repair and inevitable replacement. It may even cause damage to the cabinetry and sinks.

When you have determined that you need to replace the countertops, you must think long and hard if you want to complete this project yourself. Countertop replacement can take days or even weeks to complete. If you do not have the time to commit to this project, then you should hire a contractor.

If you are not confident in your home improvement skills, then countertop replacement is a project you should pass off to the professional. This project requires good measuring skills, a keen eye and a steady hand to make precision cuts, and it would help to have basic knowledge of your plumbing and electrical systems. If your countertops are located near electrical outlets or have a sink, you need to know how to handle those situations and how to be safe.

You also have to make sure that you have all the required tools and safety implements needed. Having to stop your work in order to go to the hardware store multiple times is not only time-wasting, it is also frustrating. Frustration will kill any enthusiasm you initially had for the project. Hiring a contractor will ensure that all needed materials will be present and progress will not be hindered because of pieces missing or wrong parts.

It is cheaper to complete a home improvement project yourself. You can save roughly 50 percent over hiring a professional. However, it is possible that your potential saving could be erased because you made amateur mistakes and wasted material. Some amateur mistakes could result in possibly causing damage that wasn't present beforehand. If that happens, you may end up calling a professional in to correct your mistakes, which would result in spending even more money.

If you have the nerve, talent, and stamina, you can add countertop replacement to your home improvement list. The process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and frustrating. However, your home improvement skills could be put to work to create a dream kitchen and could help your wallet stay fatter a little longer if you choose to do it yourself. For the rest of us, we will be calling the professional.
