If you're satisfied with an unprofessional job, why pay a
professional?

Exactly. Why pay someone what comes out to over fifty dollars an
hour for something so simple as hanging doors, installing baseboard
and putting on locks?

I can think of three possible reasons:

1. The hirer hasn't a clue as to how to do the work

2. The hirer has no desire to do the work

3. The hirer knows that some things that seem simple aren't. Hanging
doors, for example. How many DIY know how to use shims? Know that
their purpose is not just to fill space but to tweak jambs
perpendicular to the wall and themselves? In the case of baseboards,
how many know how to spile? Cope inside corners? Or *why* inside
corners should be coped? Hmm?
