Home improvement projects can be fun and rewarding. You get to save money, learn new skills, and make your space feel more like your own. But not every DIY project is a good idea. Some can actually lower your home safety score, making your house riskier for you and your family. A lower home safety score can also mean higher insurance costs or trouble selling your home later. It’s easy to overlook safety when you’re focused on saving money or finishing a project fast. But knowing which projects to avoid can help you keep your home safe and your home safety score high.
