Take a look at what Frugal DIY customers have to say about us!
Dear Kristen,
Thank you so much for your wonderful service! As you know, we obtained 3 prices from local contractors to replace the
original windows in our house ranging from $12,300 to $23,000. They all seemed like a viable option depending upon how much we wanted to spend. It was a bit
confusing to try to figure out what the difference really was and why there was such a wide range in pricing. After we met with Tom, your "Frugal Pro"
(the best $88 we ever spent by the way!) we understood it all and decided that we wanted the same windows that were in the $23,000 quote we received but our budget was telling us we could barely
afford the cheapest windows. That was 3 weeks ago. Today, we have all new windows, the ones we wanted, but instead of $23,000 we spent a grand total of $7,900!
We got the windows we wanted at almost 1/3 the price! Your Pro showed us how to install the first 2 windows, then watched and coached us on the next two. We did one window every night
after work and got them all done in no time! We're going to have you back soon to show us how to build a new deck with the money we saved! You guys (and gal) are just amazing!

I'm telling on you! I'm telling everyone I know about Frugal DIY that is! I almost bought one of those roadside storage buildings when I
found you on Google. Now I have a larger storage building that's good enough to live in! It was a real eye-opener to learn about the differences in construction methods and materials and now
I know the money I spent will last a lifetime! I have my workbench all set up, and put in a small flat screen so I can watch the game while I tinker! Thanks for a great experience!

...and the results are: contractor price-$4,650, my cost with you folks coaching me - $2,620. The same doors. Now that I know how to replace
a door, we're going to do all of the interior doors one at a time and replace them with the 4 panel colonial door style you showed us. Thanks Frugal!

Thanks to your company we now have a completed deck that we built ourselves, and it looks fantastic! It took longer than we anticipated, but as you
told us on your first visit, it always does. Now that we can actually see the $8,600 savings from what the 2 local deck builders wanted, it was worth the wait! We spent the
extra $175 and got an opinion from the real estate appraiser as you suggested. We added $2,600 more value to our home than it cost us to build the deck! It would be hard to believe if
we hadn't just done it! We saved over $8,000, learned how to build a deck perfectly square and level, and use all the tools properly, and it's like we got paid to do it at our own home!
It's just amazing! Now we're thinking of what we can do next! Thank you!

No problem! We'll be by your side as much as you need us to be and only leave you to work on your own when you and our Pro agree that you've picked up enough skill and knowledge to do the job properly. Depending upon the project, we may work with you a full day the first day, and a few hours everyday if needed. If we've left you to work on your own and you run into a snag, we're just a phone call away, and we make regular visits to you during the process to see how it is going and to help out as needed. You're never really alone when you hire Frugal DIY!
To get started, just give us a call at (434) 202-4198 in Charlottesville, or use the contact form. Our initial consultation is just $88 and we'll credit you the full amount when you hire us to build your next set of built in bookshelves!
