Individual skill

diy-vs-hire

Evaluates whether a home improvement project should be done as DIY or by hiring a professional. Analyzes skill requirements, safety factors, permit needs, time investment, and cost-benefit trade-offs to produce a recommendation with rationale. Use when the user asks whether to do a project themselves or hire someone, wants to know if a job requires a professional, or is deciding between DIY and contractor for a specific task. Do NOT use for finding or vetting contractors, project budgeting (use renovation-budget instead), or scheduling home maintenance tasks.
