When you’re considering a big remodeling project, you’re probably considering the difference it would make between doing the job yourself and hiring a professional. On the one side, you have a lower cost because you don’t have to pay labor, but on the other is knowing that you’ll get a job well done. Here’s a look at a few of the benefits of professional home remodeling that Rochester homeowners may not have considered.
What’s the Difference Between DIY vs Professional Remodeling?
Though DIY remodeling is less expensive, it also carries significantly more risk that the project will fail or have additional issues that will need to be addressed. Whether it’s a codes violation, taking out a load-bearing wall without proper support, or material waste or loss, these issues can make your budget project suddenly cost several times your initial savings.
Professional remodelers deal with a range of issues daily. Because of this, they know how to handle them without causing additional damage, whether to your home or your pocketbook. They understand at what point in a project a building permit is required, and when a certified professional is needed to handle certain aspects of the job.
They also handle this type of work regularly, so they understand when a brace wall is needed prior to taking out a load bearing wall, how long it will take for paint to dry before the next coat is applied, and how to protect the rest of your house from the chaos of the remodeling project. This allows them to work more quickly and effectively than an untrained homeowner can manage.
Imagine finishing your remodeling project without getting paint on the floor, dust all over the house, or accidentally cutting a pipe or wire. Instead, you can sit back and watch it happen, or leave to work on other things without losing all of your free time for a month or more.
