I write about the cost of home improvements and compare how much it costs to do it yourself with hiring a contractor. My husband/partner Gene and I remodeled 14 houses and have been writing about it ever since. We're authors of 20 books including Home Improvement for Dummies and Fix It and Flip It. We want to share what we know about budgeting for a remodel or repair job to help homeowners decide whether to it yourself or not.
