What projects can you do yourself?

I don't know your skill or experience level so I can't answer that. I can explain what steps are needed to complete a project but then you need to decide wheather or not you can see the project through to completion. If you aren't sure about it after reading the articles, then I recommend calling a professional to help you with the project. Below are a few resources that may help you find the right professional for your job.

More about Eli, our handyman professional

"I was born and raised in construction.  I've worked for landscaping contractors, excavating contractors, framing contractors, remodeling contractors, and general contractors. I've owned my own business as a remodeling/general contractor and currently own and operate a handyman service in Mount Vernon, WA called Granite Street Construction Services, LLC*.  I've installed foundations, roofs, landscaping, and I've done everything in between.  I've built new houses, renovated old ones, and done handyman projects large and small.  These experiences have taught me how to fix just about anything related to the house.  I’m tired of fixing all of your handyman problems, so now I’m going to help You Fix It Yourself."
