Who doesn't love a home improvement project? It's like a makeover but for your house! Interestingly, most homeowners choose to do it themselves. A whopping 75% of homeowners at least attempt to DIY their home improvement projects.

But whether you do it yourself or leave your house in the hands of specialists, mistakes can still happen. And, sometimes, they're pretty hilarious mistakes. At least for those looking from the outside. So, we're presenting a list of the funniest and most unfortunate home improvement fails that we've found on the world wide web. Pandas, here's what to look out for in your renovation journeys!

When my parents were renovating our house themselves in 1979 after purchasing it, they consulted friends who were electricians, carpenters, etc. These people in the picture were dumb.

When The Contractor Quits And Leaves You Without A Kitchen For Months

When The Contractor Quits And Leaves You Without A Kitchen For Months

Long story short, the kitchen designer I worked with at Home Depot referred me to a contractor that I assumed worked for Home Depot. He conned me into paying cash up front and took off with my money. I was left without a kitchen and have 3 small children. It was absolute hell.

When I contacted Home Depot, they said that their worker was not supposed to refer me to the contractor because he, in fact, didn’t work for them and was just one of their valued customers. They told me they can’t be held liable. I explained that regardless if the worker wasn’t supposed to do it they still did and I am without money or a kitchen now. Home Depot did not care. I don't know if this worker had a side deal with the "contractor" or what was going on.

I ended up having to build my own kitchen, my mom helped me but that was the most stressful 2 months of my life. Yes I have all proof and will be taking the con artist contractor and Home Depot to small claims court.

Wouldn't it be nice to buy a home and never have it upgrade and renovate it? It would definitely save us the cash and the hassle, that's for sure! As 59% of American homes were built before 1980, Zippia averages that people renovate their homes every three to five years. When we say "renovate" here, we mean minor upgrades, like painting.

If people have lived in their house for more than six years, they're more likely to do renovations than to just move to another place. People do major upgrades like whole room remodels less often, and the main reasons for that are either lack of time or money.

In the same survey, 50% of the respondents said they intended to do home renovations themselves. At the same time, 56% said they would hire a professional to do at least a part or all the home improvements. The most sought-after professionals are electricians and general contractors.

People renovate their homes not only for themselves; they're also thinking about the value of their house. In that sense, the renovations that give the biggest yields are those done to the kitchen. Minor kitchen upgrades yield a return of up to 96%, while major upgrades yield around a 50% return on investment.

Sometimes, I think I'm lucky not to own a home yet. How do people even know when it's time for an upgrade? For example, when do your walls need repainting? The experts at PaintRite Pros write that repainting walls should be a job you do every five years at least. Hallways and corridors suffer the most as they get scuff marks, fingerprints, and other daily wear and tear.

Experts claim that homeowners should also make minor bathroom improvements every five years. This includes painting the walls, updating cabinet finishes, fixtures, and lighting. The carpet is another thing you should replace more often. Although some carpets can last up to 15 years, experts recommend addressing heavy traffic areas like hallways, doorways, and stairs every five years or so.

If you don't have carpeted floors and have hardwood instead, you should upgrade them every 10 years. That means sanding them down and applying a new finishing coat. I have some personal experience with that, as we redid the wood floors in our family house a few years ago. The sanding machine is loud and can be quite hard to operate because it's so heavy, but the result is totally worth it. More so because you did it yourself!

That’s a terrible paint job and a terrible color.inwas in my teens when I got 2 of my friends to help me paint the living room areas of my great granny’s house my dad lived in and had moved in but it needed brightened up. We didn’t do the greatest job but it was better than that! When my mom bought her first little house when I was almost 40 I had learned my lesson and watched a lot of home improvement shows. I directed the painting. There was a lot of yelling but it turned out beautiful! Painting isn’t that hard if you are patient and take other people’s advice. And don’t cheap out.

Experts also recommend replacing your water heater every 10 years. At this point, most of the systems start to decline in quality after 12 or so years, so when you hit that decade milestone, it's a good time to start thinking about a new one. If a water heater starts producing murky water, leaking, rusting, or producing odd sounds, those are signals to replace it too.

The dishwasher is another appliance that loses its full efficiency at 10 years old. Experts say that if the costs of the repair exceed 50% of the appliance's original cost, it's not really worth repairing. If it's more than 10 years old, just go for a new one; you'll have to eat out of the plates and bowls that it washes, after all.

The repairs and renovations experts advise doing every 15 years are more serious and costly. They include partially remodeling your kitchen, replacing the central AC, and the asphalt shingles on your roof. The kitchen will likely be the most costly of the three, as some estimates claim a mid-range kitchen remodel would cost around $20,000.

I had a beautiful beveled glass round coffee table. When my kid was around 9, he tripped and his phone fell onto the glass. It shattered in huge shards. When I walked into the living room, I almost had a heart attack. A large shard of glass was sitting on way too close to the femoral artery. I very calmly (on the outside) told him to not move while I cleaned up the glass. It could have killed him. No more glass furniture for us and a new phobia for me

This appears to be a ceramic hob oven, mine is the same. I can't afford brand new things especially things such as kitchen appliances. I got mine secondhand, it had passed the safety checks so they could sell it and I also asked my Housing Association (UK) to check that it was okay with fitting etc too. All fine. These are great, so easy to clean but if you have one? You can buy safety tops for them so something like this doesn't happen. Have a shop/look around online. Some even double up your work space if like me? You've a small kitchen.

this is why I opted for a seperate hob to my oven, it's set into the counter with the oven underneath that, so as long as it measures the same I should be fine with any brand. I hope. :')

When your lovely home becomes 20 years old, it's time for some serious improvements to the outside of the house. This includes replacing the gutters, windows, and wooden fencing. One thing inside the house you should upgrade every 20 years is the light switches. At that point, they'll probably have discoloration and be loose or wiggly. Time to shop for some new ones!

Not sure if I am overreacting to the tiling quality. Having our kitchen done and most of it looks fine but this section just looks wonky and I am pretty disappointed. The guy doing it is a friend who says there is nothing you can do as the wall was not even. Is that really true? This has not been grouted yet. Will it look better after that (it was going to be dark grout).

I'll tell you exactly what's happened here. The tiler's seen the state of the wall underneath, thought 'Im not sorting that out, not my job' and laid all the tiles wonky on top, and when you've noticed, said 'yeah your wall's uneven, nothing anyone can do' hoping you'd buy that. It's easy to smooth a wall out.

IDK if I'm missing some information from this issue. Who ever put the anchor into the hole prior to the bolt would have to have known that they'd made a horrible mistake. Just drilling into an iron tub would've created a rather distinct noise that would indicate that maybe that's not a good place for an anchor. Am I missing something?

A friend was helping me paint my apartment and she had extra paint left over from when she painted her place the same color, so she brought it with her. She started at one end of the wall, me at the other and we met in the middle. We didn't realize that we had one can of flat and one can of satin finish until we were done and could see it when we stood back to admire our work! LOL! It drove me nuts for the 4 years I lived there, but I was always too broke to buy more paint and too lazy to repaint the place.
