We keep hearing how DIY home renovation is not only easy, but can “save you a lot of money”. But remember the old adage: “You get what you pay for!”
Yes, some projects can be done by yourself or with someone you know who’s “good with tools”; but ask yourself: “What am I NOT getting that an established professional renovation contractor can provide?”
Here’s a short list of what you won’t get from a DYI, amateur renovation.
No workers’ compensation. If you or someone you hired gets injured, you will be legally and financially responsible.
No Insurance and Warranty. Any damages to your or a neighbor’s property will be your responsibility. You may end up paying for damages and repairs yourself; and If there are problems after it’s finished. Guess who’s’ going to fix it?
No Technical Knowledge. Handymen and painters may know a lot about carpentry and paint, but that doesn’t mean they know how homes are designed and built.
Not the “Right” Experience. Being “good with tools” is not enough. Professional renovators know how houses are built and understand the stress and strains that hold it up and together.
No Cost and Workmanship Guarantees. A professional Renovator will guarantee price, results and satisfaction. Any needed changes will be negotiated and explained. No surprises!
A Detailed Written Contract. Professional Renovators survive in a competitive market by knowing their job and satisfying their clients. Hiring a established and experienced Renovation contractor like Housework’s Unlimited guarantees satisfaction and the result you were promised.
