Long Distance Rehab?

I am rehabbing a property in Chambersburg, Pa and I live in Queens, New York.

The drive is 5 hours one way and I work a full time job in New York. My friends and family advise me to save money by doing it by myself but I am not a handy person and I feel embarrassed to ask family and friends for help.

I have the funds to rehab and I've been eyeing Lowe's 0% interest Pro membership deal where I can lump the cost of materials and labor into a 0%, 2 year amortized credit card.

What does Bigger Pockets think?

Do it myself with the aid of family and friends or hire a professional contractor?
