What Our Clients Say
"The Coach Package was exactly what I needed. I had an idea for built-ins but was too intimidated to use the new miter saw I bought. The on-site coaching was incredible. DIY Advisor walked me through the setup, safety, and my first few cuts. I not only finished the project but now have the confidence to use my tools for future jobs. Worth every penny."
- Jake, Waterford, MI
"Our basement was an unfinished nightmare, and the idea of renovating it myself was incredibly daunting. MyDIY Advisor came in and completely changed our perspective. They helped us create a project plan, outlining every step from framing to drywall. But the real lifesaver was the on-site support. Having an expert there to guide us through the trickier parts was invaluable. We saved so much money, learned a ton, and now have a basement we're truly proud of, all thanks to their professional guidance."

Your Questions, Answered
How is MyDIY Advisor different from hiring a contractor?
While MyDIY Advisor LLC is a licensed MI Residential Builder, our primary focus is on empowering homeowners. A traditional contractor does the work for you; we specialize in doing the work with you. We provide the expert plans, skills, and confidence you need to tackle your own projects successfully.
What kinds of projects can you help with?
We can help with a wide range of home improvement projects, from planning a full kitchen remodel or finishing a basement, to specific tasks like tiling a backsplash, building custom shelves, or learning how to safely use a new power tool.
Why should I use your service instead of just watching free online videos?
Online videos are a great starting point, but they can't answer your specific questions or account for the unique quirks of your home. We build a plan tailored to your home, your tools, and your skill level, saving you time, preventing costly mistakes, and ensuring you're following best practices.
What is your service area for in-person help?
Our in-person services, including the Coach Package and Onsite Support, are available to clients within a 20-mile radius of Rochester Hills, MI. All of our other services are available virtually to anyone in the United States.
What happens if I need more help than my package or subscription includes?
We make it easy to get more support. You can add hourly Onsite Support or virtual consultation time to any package. For subscribers, you can book additional time at a discounted rate. Our goal is to provide the exact amount of help you need.
How much do your services cost?
Every DIY project is unique, so we provide a custom quote for every client. The cost is based on the project's size, complexity, and the level of hands-on support you need. This ensures you only pay for the help you actually require. The first step is a brief consultation to discuss your project, after which we will provide a no-obligation, flat-fee quote.
