Posted on: 2015-07-20
Considering a basement renovation, but unsure of whether to take the do-it-yourself route or hire a contractor? It’s a common dilemma— but whether you are a homeowner or a contractor like us at Parabola Development, the goal remains the same: to complete high quality work quickly and within a budget. Read below for details on weighing the pros and cons of DIY and contracted basement renovation.
CONTRACTOR RENOVATION
- Contractors save on time if you work long hours, have children or struggle with a busy schedule.
- Thanks to experience and skill, contractors can produce a professional level of finish on any renovation project.
- A good contractor will put its reputation on the line when assuring all work follows municipal regulations and guidelines.
- Reputable contractors will often repair any mistakes or oversights free of charge.
DO-IT-YOURSELF RENOVATION
- Contractors require labor costs and other overhead, so a do-it-yourself renovation can be more affordable if you supply everything as needed.
- If you are the type of person that unwinds doing yard work or feels relaxed when swinging a hammer, a D-I-Y reno can be extremely self-satisfying.
- If you are blessed with the gifts of generous amounts of time, money and motivation– a do-it-yourself basement renovation can help you on learn and master many new home repair, maintenance and construction skills.
