In some cases, homeowners feel they’ll be better off by hiring their own sub-contractors and performing most of this job on their own. And while we aren’t here to step on your toes if this is your goal, the reality is that these efforts are often misplaced – and could end up costing you far more, both in terms of money and overall hassle. Let’s go over why hiring reputable remodeling contractors like ours is often the way to go.

Saving Money

For starters, there’s a misconception that you can save a ton of money by planning your own project. You hire your own sub-contractors for certain areas, plus handle some of the specific project requirements on your own. Simple, right?

Unfortunately, it often isn’t. In fact, there are multiple distinct ways a professional contractor will benefit you in these situations:

• Budgeting: A professional planning contractor will generally have a much wider base of knowledge than someone who doesn’t do this for a living. This means they’ll be able to offer numerous budgetary tips, including several areas you may not have realized where you can save major amounts of money.
• Long-term issues: In addition, a contractor has a professional eye they can use to benefit you even further. They can spot issues you may never have noticed, helping you correct them as part of the remodel before they cost you a pretty penny in the long run.

Full Scope

As a homeowner, you likely came into this project with a clear idea of what you want your home to look like once the project is finished. But you may not have realized the full scope of work that will be required to achieve this – it’s common for homeowners to have a bit too narrow of a focus.

A good contractor, however, takes a broad approach. They’ll look out for any unforeseen obstacles you might run into, and help you prepare for them well in advance. If you try to simply hire your own sub-contractors and do the planning yourself, these sub-contractors – who specialize in certain areas – will not have this same broad view, and likely won’t catch the issues.

High-Quality Team

Finally, a great remodeling contractor will also have excellent connections to other sub-contractors. They’ll know which individuals do the best work in particular areas of need, plus any entities to avoid – information you often can’t get unless you work in the industry. In many cases, good contactors like ours will even have long-running partnerships with related sub-contractors, allowing you to get great deals on materials or labor.
