Renovating or improving your home can be one of the most exciting and satisfying projects you can undertake for your property. It gives a rewarding sense of achievement, but it can also be costly if you don’t plan your renovation accordingly.

It’s been well documented that home improvements are on the rise, with more time spent at home due to COVID-19 isolation, people are eager to undertake renovation projects. According to the Housing Industry Association, the total value of work is projected to increase from $33.2 billion in 2017 to nearly $36 billion in 2020.

For improvements that include gas, electricity, plumbing, asbestos and major demolition and structural work always seek out a reputable licenced builder. However, for smaller improvements you can easily save yourself time and money with hiring equipment to help you get the job done.

Here are 5 DIY jobs that you can do with hiring equipment that will save on time and money and add value to your property.

Have good look around your property for issues you may not have been aware of.  Check for leaking drainpipes, cracked roof tiles, leaking taps, termites, chipped paint, cracked bricks, loose pavers, and broken fence paling that needs removing and repairing.
