A general contractor’s job is to manage every step of your renovation from start to finish. He/She makes sure that everything goes according to the plan and stays on track with the timeline and budget. The contractor works closely with all of the sub-contractors to manage each trade – plumbing, electrical, mechanical, etc. At Custom Homes Building and Remodeling, we only use sub-contractors that we trust and have worked with for many years. We have high standards and using sub-contractors with expertise in their trade ensures great work on all aspects of your home renovation.
You may use an architect and/or designer to help create your dream space but it is the contractor who makes that dream become reality. Communication is the key to making sure that everyone is on the same page. Hiring the right contractor can save you a lot time and stress. They are responsible for constant problem solving throughout the course of a project. For example, if a permit is not approved, the contractor can go directly to the architect and explain exactly what’s needed on the plans to get the permit passed. Or, if your flooring installation is scheduled for next week then you find out the tile your designer chose is on backorder, your contractor can contact multiple trades to rearrange the schedules, making sure work doesn’t stop. Moreover, contractors are often familiar with many companies who sell cabinets, tile, lighting, etc. – both local and online. This is beneficial when you don’t have a designer but rather, an inspiration photo you are trying to mimic. Not only can a contractor point you in the right direction, they can often get you discounts on the finishes.
The right general contractor can add a lot of value in making sure your home renovation gets done the right way, on time, the first time. Let Custom Homes Building and Remodeling show you the difference a general contractor can make.
