Saving on Renos by DIY

[Nick Causa]

Other than painting, what would everyone say is a reno step that can be learned/done somewhat easily. Im seeing the savings benefit of DIYing certain things and heard that things like tiling is pretty easy to learn. Anything else? Laying hardwood?

[James R.]

Flooring like luxury vinyl plank, laminate, tile are all easy to learn. A bit more wear and tear on the body though.

Paint. Many say they can paint but in reality aren't very good at it. 

Basic electrical. Lights, fans, replacing outlets and switches.

Basic plumbing. Replacing shut-off valves, supply lines, shower/sink fixtures, toilets, dishwashers.

Hang blinds. Replace door slab and hardware.

The list could go on. What some consider easy are impossible to others.
