FAQ

Questions About DIY Guidance

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Can the hours be split across multiple visits?

Yes. All hours do not need to be used in a single session. You can spread them across different phases of your project as needed.

What if I already started my project and ran into problems?

That's what our Project Rescue service is for. We step in on failing or delayed projects to assess the situation, create a correction plan, and help you get back on track.

When should I choose an on-site visit instead of video consultation?

When the project involves physical conditions, material selection, or layout decisions that need in-person assessment.

Who conducts the on-site visit?

A subject matter expert relevant to your project such as flooring, deck building, or outdoor hardscaping.

Does this replace a contractor or installation service?

No. This service provides expert level clarity to DIY project.

Duration varies based on project complexity and scope
