Hiring a Professional vs DIY

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Remodeling Company Instead of DIY?

Taking on a remodeling project can be an exciting endeavor, but the decision to go DIY or hire a professional can make all the difference. While the idea of saving money by doing it yourself may seem appealing, there are several reasons why hiring a professional remodeling company is the smarter choice. We are 100% on board with DIY’ers and certain projects are totally doable for a newbie. There are many people out there with the skills to get the job done and we commend them for taking on certain projects.

Here are some of our reasons as to why you should leave the big projects to us:

1. Tools Necessary to Get the Job Done

Professional remodeling companies with the use of any sub-contractors they use come with all the expensive tools and materials needed to complete the job. Completing a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project requires tools that are expensive. A professional tile cutting saw can range from $750 to $3,000, a carbon-tip, diamond covered drill bit needed to make precision holes can each cost $30 - $50, different sizes are needed for the various perforations that while completing tile work. A professional trim cutting saw will range in cost from $300 - $750. These are just a few examples out of the hundreds of tools needed to get the job done right. By the time you add up the cost of purchasing all of these tools you will be in the red and will then wonder why you didn’t just hire a professional.

2. Expertise and Experience

Professional remodeling companies bring years of experience and knowledge to the table. They understand structural integrity, building codes, and the best materials for each job. This ensures that your project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also safe and durable. Using the right professional that has plenty of experience completing these types of projects will bring with them lessons learned from other projects and apply them to yours having you avoid making similar mistakes on your DIY project causing you time delays and headaches, these potential mistakes can be costly especially when detailing with bathroom renovations where water is involved.

3. Time Efficiency

DIY projects often take longer than expected due to lack of experience, unforeseen issues, and limited time availability. Professionals, on the other hand, have the skills and manpower to complete the job efficiently while adhering to deadlines. Professionals do this for a living, you may be working a full-time job and have a family to care for allowing you less time to manage a large DIY project. Relying on a professional to get the job done will avoid many things such as costly mistakes, time away from family/friends, and long durations with a bathroom or a kitchen being unusable because of the renovation. If you have a busy schedule completing a project such as this will be stressful and limit your already burdened schedule.

6. Proper Licensing and Insurance

Reputable remodeling companies are licensed and insured, protecting you from liability in case of accidents or property damage. If you tackle a project yourself and something goes wrong, you could be responsible for costly damages.

7. Access to Better Materials and Resources

Professionals have access to high-quality materials at wholesale prices, as well as specialized tools that might not be available to the average DIYer. This allows them to create a polished, professional look that’s hard to achieve with DIY methods.

Remodeling projects come with unexpected challenges. A professional team can handle issues as they arise, allowing you to enjoy the transformation without the stress of dealing with setbacks, permits, and problem-solving on your own.
