But did you know that of the 64% people that have done a DIY in the last 12 months, one in every six-person got injured in the process? In this research which was conducted over 2802 participants, 6% percent said they weren’t able to get back to work for as long as one year, 12 % claimed to have long term damage, and two-third suggested that the DIY induced injury forced them to take off from work.

Still not convinced that DIY comes with various dangers risks and dangers that can be otherwise mitigated by hiring a professional repair and refinishing service?
