A recent Ipsos Reid survey found it’s not a fear of making mistakes, lack of time, or worry of doing more damage than good that has Canadians shaking in their work boots when it comes to taking on a do-it-yourself project. A lack of confidence is to blame. Fear not, with a new Fall schedule launching September 6, DIY Network Canada offers brand new and returning series chalk-full of tips and practical solutions for the simplest and most complex DIY projects. DIY Network strives to give Canadians the confidence to demo, spruce and remodel any room in their homes.
The same survey also concluded that 67% of Canadians would feel more comfortable completing a DIY project if they had the help of an expert. The new schedule features a power-packed programming line-up that offers plenty of top-notch tactics hosted by experts in their fields. Offering step-by-step instructions and professional guidance is House Crashers, a brand new series in which host and contractor Josh Temple ambushes unsuspecting homeowners in home improvement stores and convinces them to let him and his crew remodel their home. In Bath Crashers, professional do-it-yourselfer and host Matt Muenster and his team help transform boring, busted and just plain bad bathrooms into breathtaking spaces.
According to those Canadians surveyed, 65% would choose to renovate their kitchens and bathrooms over any other room in their home. New seasons of Kitchen Impossible, Kitchen Renovations, Bathroom Renovations and BATHTastic will have Canadians braving those renovations in no time.
