Should I hire a contractor or do it myself?
Asked by Homeowner in San Diego
"Deciding between DIY and hiring a contractor depends on your skill level, the project's complexity, and local regulations. For major structural changes or electrical work, hiring a licensed professional is recommended. However, smaller cosmetic projects are often manageable for DIY enthusiasts."
How can I make my small bathroom feel more spacious?
Asked by Renter in Chicago
"To maximize space in a small bathroom, consider using light colors, installing a large mirror to reflect light, choosing a pedestal sink instead of a vanity, and using recessed lighting. Vertical storage solutions and glass shower enclosures can also create an illusion of more space."
