Some homeowners may be tempted to handle plumbing projects themselves. There are a few projects that you may be able to take on yourself. Here are a few that you may consider tackling without the help of a pro. However if you think you may get in over your head, or if you've already attempted DIY projects and they've gone awry, don't hesitate to contact Barlow Plumbing to get you out of the weeds.
New Faucets

Where you may run into trouble is if you over-tighten the water supply lines or have any kinds of leaks in the supply lines. In that case, it is best to call in the pros at Barlow Plumbing.
