House & Home - DIY Project Survey

While renovation and remodeling projects can be exciting, they aren’t cheap– and some homeowners are cutting costs with their own two hands.

A new survey by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty found that among the 94% of homeowners planning some sort of DIY project this year, 61% are going DIY because they can’t afford professionals.

62% say the saved money is the best part:

• 87% are planning cosmetic projects, while 39% are doing major remodels
• The Kitchen is the #1 target room for a DIY project
• 19% delayed or modified their plans due to increased costs from tariffs

Another benefit for 87% is the confidence built from doing something yourself.
