The REAL cost of DIY home repairs

Does your house need some repairs?

As you might have guessed, fixing up a home can either be a lot of work if you choose the DIY route or a significant expense if you hire a contractor.

But how much are we talking?

At Manatee, we’ve spent years working in real estate across Bradenton and Sarasota, so we’ve picked up a thing or two about home repairs.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the most common home repairs, along with our DIY difficulty score (1 being extremely challenging, 10 being very easy) and the average cost if you decide to bring in a professional:

  • Foundation Repair — Average Cost: $10,000, DIY Score: 2
