more and more French people are turning to this activity

Giving new life to an aging table, renovating a room starting with the coating, changing the seals of a sink… Amateur handymen are legion in France. Their number has greatly increased with successive confinements. To help themselves, a certain number of neo-do-it-yourselfers consult specialized blogs and even tutorials on the YouTube platform. In-store, sales associates can also provide good advice.

Economic reasons

“Question budget, economically, we are obliged to manage, to put our hand to the paw“, explains a man, justifying his motivation to take care of the work himself. It also allows to save energy by investing in better insulation or by changing his bulbs to opt for LEDs. The sector is not spared, which further encourages DIY enthusiasts to look for their own materials.
