It’s Imperative to consider your safety when determining the answer to your DIY vs Hiring a Renovation Contractor
in a blink of an eye, things can go drastically wrong especially in kitchens and bathrooms which include tons of electrical and plumbing to deal with. There are times when a licensed and trained professional is required to ensure your safety.
Which of your walls is load-bearing? Where all your plumbing, gas, and electrical runs are? What condition is the subfloor and framing in behind your walls? Is there possible mold damage? Many of these questions require years of training to answer and it’s hard to be an expert in all areas required during a kitchen or bathroom remodeling.
A major plumbing problem can turn any project upside down. Water can be an immediate as well as a hidden danger to your home and family’s safety. A broken pipe or fixture can cause thousands of dollars of damage very quickly and even worse an undetected slow leak will not only raise your water bill but can also cause mold, decay, and structural damage to your home.
