To this end, 51% are ready to spend their savings, while 31% would rather apply for a bank loan and 16% would ask financial assistance from their families. Finally, 45% of those who have an insurance policy would take advantage of the insurance coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Considering their home a precious asset to be maintained and preserved at its best is therefore a priority for the majority of Italians, and their percentage <strong>exceeds 70%<\/strong> when their homes are located in regions subject to major weather events.<\/p>\n<p>However, even if 53% of Italians, as we said before, perform maintenance works by themselves, <strong>only 10% of them enjoy doing it<\/strong>, while a good 45% opt for DIY just to save money. It is interesting to notice that 33% believe that they have the necessary skills to do a good job, while 12% stated that DIY represents a quicker solution.<\/p>\n<p>Sticking to the topic of expertise <strong>44% of respondents believe, however, that relying on a professional guarantees a top quality job<\/strong>, while 39% think that they would not be capable of carrying out maintenance works.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting aspect is that <strong>many Italian DIYers hesitate to perform outdoor maintenance works<\/strong>: 61% would not repair the roof; 36% think that they would not be able to paint walls and railings or fix gutters or drainpipes. Italians also show poor propensity for plumbing: 35% believe they could not replace taps in their houses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29051\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/diyandgarden.com\/consumatori\/bricoleur-per-necessita-il-53\/attachment\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diyandgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni.jpg?fit=592%2C435&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"592,435\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diyandgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni.jpg?fit=592%2C435&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diyandgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni.jpg?fit=245%2C180&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29051\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diyandgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni.jpg?resize=592%2C435&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diyandgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni.jpg?w=592&amp;ssl=1 592w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diyandgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni.jpg?resize=245%2C180&amp;ssl=1 245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As much as 53% of the Italians maintain their houses by themselves, while 60% think that neglecting small maintenance interventions could lead, in the future, to much more serious troubles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":29053,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"event_place_name":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2706],"tags":[2820,37,2896,720,2898,2897],"posizione":[],"class_list":["post-30489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-customers","tag-bricolage","tag-diy","tag-diyers","tag-home-improvement","tag-italian-diyers","tag-sara-assicurazioni"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diyandgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/osservatorio-sara-assicurazioni-apertura.jpg?fit=800%2C400&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":30520,"url":"https:\/\/diyandgarden.com\/en\/trends\/coop-2018-report-italians-have-their-homes-on-their-minds-furnishing-diy-and-gardens\/","url_meta":{"origin":30489,"position":0},"title":"Coop 2018 report.
