Welcome to PGH DIY.
Where Creativity Builds Something Bigger
We’re Sarah and Vince—a husband-and-wife team, lifelong educators, and passionate home renovators. For over 20 years, we’ve worked side by side: in classrooms, in living rooms, in dusty basements and fresh beginnings - with pride in PGH - Pittsburgh, PA
PGH DIY is the next chapter in that journey. What started as a love for teaching and a passion for home transformation has grown into something much more:
a creative movement that invites you to be part of the process.
We believe your home should reflect who you are—and that you don’t need a big budget or a team of contractors to get there. With guidance, inspiration, and a little courage, anyone can shape their space into something beautiful, functional, and uniquely their own.
This isn’t just a brand. PGH DIY is alive—with purpose, with momentum, and with the combined energy of every person who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and create something meaningful.
We’re here to teach, to guide, and to walk beside you as you transform your space—and maybe a little bit of yourself along the way.
Let’s make your house a home.

I was quoted $2400 by a contractor to do something similar to this. After buying the materials and installing everything I ended up spending only $217Â
An absolute steal!

I had been staring at my old wallpaper backsplash for YEARS, wanting to rip it out. I can't believe I waited this long to do PGHDIY German Schmear process! And it only took me weekend to do it. Don't wait another minute - just do it!
____ Maria P
I had never done anything like this before - I wouldn't call myself 'handy.' But it ended up being so easy. You can do it!
