Home remodeling should be an opportunity to increase the value of your home with home – not a test of wills. But it can be an overwhelming task if you aren’t quite sure where to start or how to go about it. For some, home improvement simply means keeping up with daily home repair. Others like to tackle additions and major projects to keep growing the value of their home. Unless you are an experienced do-it-yourselfer you will probably opt to leave larger home improvements up to the professionals, by bringing in contractors to handle bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, building a deck and many more dream home remodeling projects.

How much experience do I have with this type of project? Maybe you have never tiled a room before, or perhaps you’ve done tile work many times in the past with quality results. Ultimately, you have to live with the end product of your work, so ensuring that it is up to your standards is a forefront objective. For some jobs, attending a class or workshop at a local home improvement store may give you enough preparation to confidently take on a project yourself.

How much money will I be saving by doing the job myself? Typically, saving money is the main motivator for homeowners to get involved with DIY home improvement. When deciding whether to hire a professional, be sure to accurately assess the cost of doing it yourself versus hiring a pro. Will you have to purchase specialized tools? Can a contractor get a better deal on materials? What about the value of your time, and the opportunity cost to get the project done? A side by side comparison of each scenario will help you see the big picture and determine the best course of action for the project. Getting quotes from three different contractors is typically advised.

First you need to look at the existing shower head to see how loose it is. In order to not damage the pipes you may be able to twist it off by hand. You can also use a strap wrench or an adjustable wrench. When using an adjustable wrench you want to place some type of washcloth or towel over the pipe first to help protect them from the jaws of the wrench. Another good tip is to use two wrenches.

One wrench holds the stem in place while the other is use to unscrew the head. Directions for this type of job usually tell you to wrap the threads of the inlet pipe with Teflon or pipe tape before putting the new showerhead on.

The final step is the installation of the new shower head. Be sure the threads are clean and then proceed to screw the new head on the stem and tighten it with your hand or a wrench. Again if you use a wrench use a towel to protect the pipes. Be sure not to over tighten the showerhead when you install it. In general a half turn past finger tight is sufficient. After you’re done you can be proud of your DIY home improvement job.
