DIY or Disaster? When to Pick Up a Hammer — and When to Call a Pro⎥Ep. 2297
Renovating your own home can be one of the best ways to build equity, but it can also turn into a financial (and emotional) nightmare if you don’t know where to start.
In this episode, Ed and Andrew are joined by Peter Wolfkamp, The Resident Builder and host of Newstalk ZB’s Sunday morning show, to reveal how to DIY the smart way.
You’ll learn:
- The #1 mistake most DIYers make with renovation budgets
- Which projects can you safely tackle yourself – and which require a licensed builder
- How to calculate if DIY is actually cheaper once you factor in your time and tools
Peter also shares real stories, including how overconfidence (or ignoring consents) can cost you thousands.
