Do I Need a General Contractor?
Many people oversimplify the work done by general contractors. They believe they can save money by handling it all themselves.
While there are some that can do this, the vast majority don’t have the experience, time and skills to handle a large scale job. A general contractor has people they know and trust that can work on the project. They’re vetted already.
The homeowner is trying to manage a major project, work their job, manage their home and maintain a normal life outside of the renovation. It’s difficult to handle all that and make sure the project hits the budget and timelines and make sure subcontractors get hired at the right time.
What ends up happening is the project has delays, the timeframe increases, and your budget skyrockets. You’ve lost all the money you planned on saving by not hiring a general contractor and much more.
Unless the homeowner has a background in construction, they have no way of knowing if what they did was done correctly. Don’t risk the quality of your remodel and hire a proper general contractor.
