        "text": "You should hire a professional whenever repairs involve structural framing, persistent moisture intrusion, electrical safety, or complex finish work like tile setting. Superficial tasks like hanging pictures or replacing cabinet knobs are straightforward DIY projects. The practical tradeoff comes with projects like drywall finishing, custom molding, or bathroom caulking; improper DIY execution often leaves visible seams, uneven surfaces, or hidden water leaks that ultimately cost more to correct later. Bringing in an experienced tradesperson ensures clean finish carpentry and durable, watertight installations.",
