If there are areas of your home that you’d like to improve, you’re not alone.
A recent survey revealed that 36% of homeowners aren’t satisfied with some area of their house, according to this article. The top three spaces people feel need some sprucing up are:
Twenty-nine percent of those surveyed said they plan to do some renovations in 2024, setting aside an average of $3,762.79 to do projects, with these three topping the list:
The question is: Will that work actually get done?!
It’s one thing to have a list of improvements you want to make, but getting them off the to-do list isn’t quite as easy.
If you’re looking to hire someone to do the work, finding and hiring contractors is often a difficult thing to do, but with so many people wanting work done, they can be even more difficult to pin down, let alone at a budget-friendly price.
Which is probably why — whether it’s out of desperation, or an attempt to save money — many homeowners try the do-it-yourself approach. Unfortunately, that leads to an awful lot of projects that get started, but never finished.
According to the article, the average homeowner has four renovations that were begun, but never completed, and 31% are in the middle of a project they’ve been working on for 52 days.

The Takeaway:
If there are things around your home you’d like to repair or renovate, you’re not alone. But before you dive into those projects as a do-it-yourselfer, consider that the average homeowner has four renovations they’ve begun, but never completed, and 31% are in the middle of a project they’ve been working on for 52 days. In addition, many of those who’ve tried to DIY certain projects regret doing so, and recommend letting a pro handle it instead.
So make a list of the projects you need to get done, prioritize them, get estimates from highly recommended contractors, choose the best one at the best price, and get on their waiting list! Even if you have to wait a few weeks or months, it beats wasting time and money on projects you’ll start and never finish.
