In fact, the only time it often makes sense to repair is when you are
a DIY since the major cost of repair is labor not parts.

Except that when doing a paint job on someone's home most of the cost
is in labor. Now most people seem to think that just because a paint
brush will fit in their hands that they are painters. Alas, such is
not the case. It takes a bit of patience and knowledge to know how to
properly prep a house for paint-two things most homeowners don't know
about. Actually holding the brush is one of the less important things
in the job!:~)
