When homeowners want to add individuality and personality to their dwelling,
they are more likely to do a DIY remodel than they are to hire a pro.
DIYers also noted an increased sense of accomplishment with a completed project.
97% expressed a major or minor sense of accomplishment, compared with
93% of those who went with a professional.
Interestingly, although they indicated a higher level of satisfaction
when they went with a professional,
homeowners doing renovations for a pet were
9% more likely to do it themselves than they were if it were a general home project.
