While some home improvement projects are easy enough for homeowners to tackle on their own, there are some that should be left to the professionals. If you are thinking of starting your next home improvement project, make sure it is not one of the following projects that should be left to the professionals.

• Wiring. Working on wiring if you are not a professional can be dangerous. You run the risk of electrocuting yourself, and possibly damaging the wiring throughout the entire house. You could also end up changing the polarity of the wires, causing a bigger problem.
• Water. While some small leaks are easy to fix, larger problems that deal with water and pipe issues should be left to the professionals. If you try to fix a main pipe, you could end up creating a bigger leak that could damage the floors and walls in the room. You should also always call a professional plumber when putting in a new toilet or redoing the pluming to ensure that it is done correctly.
• Ceramic tiles. Ceramic tiles are very fragile and can be broken very easily. If you break one tile, you may have to start over on the entire project, costing you time and money. You may also not know if you are properly spacing the tiles out until the end, which could mean that you would not know if you have to do the entire project over until it is over.
