Indeed. I've DIY'd all of that and then some, and especially in the age of YouTube in which you can find a hundred videos from electricians that have been around as long the light bulb, it's some of the simplest home repair/upgrade you can do. And although you do need to respect the inherent danger of working on currents like this, electrical is actually pretty easy to understand for the types of home upgrade/repair like this you might attempt.
Just be mindful of what you can and cannot do based on local regulations. You definitely don't want to have your house burn down and your home insurance tell you to kick rocks because there was a code violation somewhere, even if it didn't cause the fire.
