We need to disconnect our gas stove as we are in the process of replacing the tile in our kitchen. I've read instructions online for disconnecting it but am still a little weary about it. Does it make sense to hire someone to do this?
It only makes sense if you're absolutely terrified of gas.
There's a shutoff valve- turn handle so it is perpendicular to the line. Use two wrenches to loosen the flexline from the shutoff valve; one to turn the nut, the other to hold the valve in place.
The instructions you read are probable good and if you are having a professional company do the work you can ask them to help. You do have to be careful with the gas line for sure

Reverse order to reinstall.
Thats what we do every day to cook. Hubby climbs back there and turns it.

Wow -- i had an old stove in an apartment that you had to light every single time you wanted to use it (no standing pilot light) .... I thought that was rough.
Actually having to turn the gas on every single time (and back off again presumably after you're done cooking) would likely have meant more takeout and less cooking.

If you feel comfortable hooking up a garden hose you should feel comfortable hooking up a gas stove. Just dab some soapy water on the connections once you've hooked it up and turned it on to make sure it isn't leaking.

What? Why? The stove has shut off valves. You don't need to shut off the main supply every day.
