Q: Do I Need A Contractor for my Bathroom Remodel?

While smaller repairs are often best handled by a handyman or smaller contracting team, bathroom remodels are multi-faceted projects that often require input from carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and interior designers. For this reason, we always recommend hiring a general contractor for full-room remodels. Hiring a management company such as a General Contractor ensures your project has the adequate oversight needed without you having to handle the intricacies of managing the project.
