If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think too much about home repairs and reno projects — and if you do, you could probably handle them yourself, right?
Maybe not!
Repair and renovation projects can easily get out of hand if you’re unfamiliar with the process — so it’s critical that you know when it’s time to call in the experts.
There are several golden rules of home renovation that can help you figure out if you should hire a general contractor for your project.
Here’s our top three:
If your project will take longer than a week to finish, hire a contractor to handle it for you.
Permits and building codes can be confusing — if your project requires one, you’re better off hiring a general contractor than trying to complete the project on your own.
Consider the amount of subcontractors needed for the project. Any more than two will be harder to keep track of without a general contractor’s assistance.
Are there any rules you’d like to see added to this list?
