Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom can be daunting. Do I do it myself or do I get help from the professionals? These are important questions to ask yourself because if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing a remodel job can become an exercise in frustration costing more time and money than you originally planned.

There are many things to think about:

  • Will it be a full remodel (ground up) or a partial (replacing some lights, painting, etc.)?
  • What is your budget?
  • How much time and effort do you want to put into it?
  • Will you do it yourself or hire a professional?

If the remodel is being professionally done then consider:

  • Always get more than one estimate.
  • If you use a designer choose one that is reputable, provides a background check and does not ask for the payment up front.
  • Never pay up front.
  • The subcontractors they use should be licensed, background checked and insured.
  • Ask for proof of insurance.
  • You retain full “say” in everything that is done.
  • Read the contract fully and very carefully.
  • If there is anything like asbestos removal or mold remediation it is covered in the contract.

If you’re doing the remodel yourself consider:

  • Be sure you get a permit to do your work.
  • Research the items you are planning to do carefully.
  • Know how to do all aspects of the job safely.
  • Make your plan with consideration to the extra time it will take to do it yourself and the inconvenience of living with the remodel taking place.
  • If you need professional assistance on some items, hire professionals that are licensed and background checked.
  • Electrical work should always be done by a licensed, professional electrician.
