Kitchen quotes should be sought rather than DIY

Kitchen quotes should be sought rather than DIY Undertaking major DIY projects is not easy.Property owners thinking of renovating their home have been told that they are better off seeking kitchen quotes and employing a specialised firm.

Mike Holmes, star of Holmes Inspection, said that he is the anti-DIY guy and stated that no one can do as good a job as a professional can when it comes to home improvements.

The main reason is that DIY books or magazines teach you how to do it, but not why to do it. They don't teach the principal behind why something is happening, or what it means in the bigger picture," he added.

Mr Holmes went on to say that undertaking major DIY projects instead of seeking out kitchen quotes is like a doctor who treats a symptom but does not realise that there is a disease.

According to Chris Gleason, author of Kitchen Makeovers for Any Budget, the cooking space in a house is becoming the new family room.
