Hiring a licensed general contractor could be the difference between getting a stunning kitchen like this one or being stuck with a sub par renovation

Home repairs and remodels are complicated business, and whether you’re remodeling your home in Cary or repairing a home in Raleigh or anything in between, deciding whether or not to hire a licensed general contractor can be confusing. After all, they add to the cost of your project, but are they worth it? Here are the top three reasons you should always choose a licensed general contractor to complete your home projects, so your renovations can be completed on time, on budget and in the safest manner possible.


It’s in the Name: We’re Licensed Home repairs and renovations aren’t just large DIY projects, they are extraordinarily complicated business. Even the simplest wall removal could require structural changes, electrical or plumbing work and other items that you might not even consider. Your home is likely your largest and most expensive asset, so you shouldn’t let just anyone tinker around with it. Thankfully, licensed general contractors are fully licensed and trained to understand the inner workings of your home projects and to complete them properly in accordance with all codes and safety requirements. After all, you wouldn’t let someone who hadn’t gone to medical school perform an operation on you. Why would you let someone who wasn’t licensed work on your home?


We are Bonded and Insured Licensed general contractors are required to carry liability insurance and workman's comp that protects you and your home. That alone can give you the peace of mind you need to move forward with your home repair and renovation projects with confidence. While every contractor hopes to never use their insurance, it is important that your project be covered. If you choose to use an unlicensed contractor, or a worker who is not insured, you run the risk of being stuck with huge expenses should something go wrong, like an injury on your property during the project.


We Are Project Managers and Problem Solvers One of the most difficult parts of even the most seemingly simple home projects are the tiny pieces, loose ends and small hiccups that always occur during any repair or renovation. Think about the last time you did a small DIY project in your home that seemed like it would be quick, but that actually required multiple days and plenty of trips to the home improvement store. Now, multiply the magnitude of that project by 1000, and you might get a good idea of the complexity of repairs and renovations.


The good news is, when you hire a licensed general contractor, you don’t have to worry about any of that.
