"I am not a gear head and don't possess a lot of the necessary skills to do the work myself."
No one is born a gear head. (It comes about by falling head first into concrete, or bumping one's head a lot.)

Necessary skills to do the work are learned.
If you are willing and able to learn, you will find all of the information which you need from this site. Start by using the "Search" feature, then ask any follow up questions in this HiPo forum.

BTW, I do not encourage purposeful head first concrete diving, nor bumping one's head repeatedly.
