Should You Do Your Own Plumbing and Electrical Work?

Real Estate Podcast with John Quinn

When selling your home, you should always get a home inspection, and when you do, electrical or plumbing issues will inevitably come up. Should you do your own plumbing and electrical work? No, hire a licensed plumber or electrician! Though I’ve flipped many homes in the last 30-some years, I always hire a plumber and electrician to take care of the home’s needs. Yes, I could do it myself, but if anything catastrophic is going to happen to the house, it’s likely going to be from broken pipes or messed-up electrical work that catches on fire. Those are two things you don’t ever want to happen to the house, whether you are living there or have already sold it. Hiring a professional will cost a bit more, but you’ll know it’s done right, and you won’t have any liability afterward. If I can ever be of assistance to you, or if you have any questions, please call me or visit my website. I would love to help.
