Expertise Wins Out Every Time
When you need to renovate your kitchen, you have two options: You can hire a professional renovation builder OR you can do the job yourself. With DIY tutorials and instructions available everywhere, many homeowners assume this will be the smarter option because you won’t have to pay for labour.
But DIY kitchen renovations can be rife with unexpected problems that can be avoided with a professional builder. In fact, depending on the project, your DIY costs may be as much as the cost of hiring a professional.
Besides that, there are a number of benefits to hiring a professional renovation company that you may not have considered.
Best subbies
Sure, you can go out and find trades and suppliers according to a list you found on the internet, but those costs will add up quickly. You also have to consider if you know the best manufacturers and what suppliers you need. Builders have established relationships and know who will be best suited to your project. They also have greater buying power to offset against their cost.
Anticipated issues
An amateur can have a good sense of how the project should go, but they could be unprepared for the issues they might find when they get started. Maybe a wall that you planned to work on is load bearing, contain asbestos, or maybe there’s an issue with electrical wiring or with pests like termites. Do you know how to handle these issues if they arise? A professional renovation builder will because they’ve seen it before — multiple times. They’re even prepared for issues like damage or injury on the job, which is why builders are insured so that you won’t be held liable in that event and they can continue to finish the job. Their experience provides a security blanket that you won’t have otherwise.
Time Saved
Kitchen renovations take time. Chances are you already have your regular job, a social life, and other responsibilities or hobbies that take up much of your time. It can be stressful to put those aside for the time required to do a kitchen renovation yourself, and it could cost money if you have to take time off from your job. With a professional building contractor, you don’t have to do any of the work, so you lose no time. You can go about your life and trust the professionals to do their job the way they know best.
