I don't understand why people will take there car to a ASE certified mechanic and there body to a doctor, but they will put there largest investment (there home) in the hands of Billie Bob Nail Driver. 
The family home is your biggest investment.  Your knowledge is the best way to protect your investment.  Homeowners should invest a little time in educating themselves before embarking on a large project.  If  it's a DIY project or you hire a contractor,  The end results depends on you, the work you do or the contractor you hire.  It all depends on the knowledge you have.  So do your homework.  A great resorce is the AHA American Homeowners Association.
