The DIY Life is Risky
Going DIY (Do It Yourself) does have its benefits: no more labor expenses for contractors, more control on how you want it to look, etc. However, it does have its problems: you may fail to get home insurance because what you installed may not conform with standards, if you fail to finish your project, it may be a problem in renewing your home insurance.
Zurich’s technical underwriting manager, said: “Doing it yourself can be a great achievement but we would like to remind all DIY novices that they can often endanger themselves and their property, so if you are unsure, always call in a professional.â€
For those who dream of the DIY life, but don’t want the risk involved, then calling in the right people: plumbers, carpenters or contractors, would best suit you , your house, and your home insurance.
