Should You Do It Yourself or Should You Hire a Professional Renovator?

Should you do it yourself or hire a professional renovator? This is typical question, when it comes to renovation project in your home. Some people tend to do it yourself with one common purpose: “save money”. So what is the right way, and what is wrong way? We are willing to explain it by giving you some valuable advice.

Time Consumption

So, before starting any renovation project ask yourself: do you have time to do your renovation yourself? Typically, depending on the size and complexity of the renovation project, it might take from several days-to several months. And what should you do? Take some time from work; use all your sick days and vacations… Doesn’t sound too attractive. Especially when you are not sure what you doing, it might take much longer, than it seems like. Contractor, at the same time will give you exact time frame for every project, because he/she deals with this every day.

Technical Skills and Experience 

Another question is: do you possess all the necessary technical skills and experience to do it right? Have you ever dealt with such a task before? Typically when you don’t have a clue how to do it, it takes twice as much time for the job completion. Hiring a pro saves you a lot of headaches, as far as he/she has all the necessary skills to do it right.

Equipment 

One more issue is: do you have all the necessary tools and equipment which are needed? If you do, than great, but what if not? Should you buy, or consider renting? It will increase the cost of your project drastically! Pro has everything necessary for the project.

Building Permit

Moreover, while planning renovation. The homeowner should consider whether he/she is required to get a building permit? Getting it yourself is very complicated process, while professional contractor can do it much faster.
Of course the complexity of every project is different. Some jobs involve just cosmetic improvements. They could be handled by some homeowners without any complications. While others are very complex and involve electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, etc. These types of jobs have to be performed by only licensed technicians without any exceptions. Never ever try to do it yourself. It is much cheaper to hire a pro, rather than deal with house flooding, electrical fire, falling down from heights, etc. No matter how small or big is your project – always consider consulting with a real pro. It doesn’t cost you anything, because estimates are usually free, but saves you a lot at the end of the day.
