Tis the season for summer entertaining, backyard barbecues and family celebrations! One thing is definitely for sure, you want to make sure your home is in tiptop shape and looking fabulous this season for your summer soirees. We all know how costly it can be to update the look and feel of our home – I never knew how expensive it is to have a home professionally painted until my mom started getting quotes for her home. It can be tempting to try and attempt DIY projects ourselves, but let’s face it some things are best left to the pros, and some things just cost more in the long run to have repaired once you try to do them yourself.

Renowned home improvement expert and “Today’s Homeowner” host Danny Lipford and his daughter Chelsea Lipford are the best when it comes to home repairs (I wish I had their skills!) and they joined me for an interview this week from Chelsea’s home for a “Do It Yourself Or Hire” segment! Danny and Chelsea shared simple exterior projects that are good for the do-it-yourselfer, common mistakes they see homeowners making, projects that make your home more energy efficient, what’s best left to the pros, and much more. Be sure to watch the video below to see my interview in its entirety and to hear their recommendations. For more information please visit TodaysHomeowner.com.
