I know a pediatrician that used high school kids to paint his house. He had them climbing three scaffold bucks up to the end of his house. They did a horrible job. Then he had a retaining wall to build and used his son’s friends again. First big rain, the whole thing fell. So he paid for the wall twice because the second time he hired a pro.
At my house I handle all the projects under $1000. Anything that does/should cost more than that I hire a pro...for the same reason you mentioned...so I don't have to pay twice.
