Taking on a home improvement project can be both exciting and daunting. Whether it’s a major renovation or a simple remodel, it is a big investment of time, money, and energy.
Many homeowners are tempted to tackle home improvement projects, especially things like painting or kitchen/bath updates themselves in an effort to save money, but in reality, hiring a general contractor can be the best decision you make. Here are our top four reasons to hire a general contractor, like us, for a home improvement project.
The Top 4 Reasons:
Expertise and Experience
General contractors have years of experience and expertise in all aspects of home improvement projects. From planning and design to construction and completion, they have the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure your project is completed efficiently and effectively. Petra General Services is a second-generation family owned firm. We understand the nuances of different materials, techniques, and building codes, and can provide you with valuable advice and guidance throughout your remodel or major renovation project.
Moreover, general contractors, like Petra General Services, have extensive networks of suppliers and subcontractors, which means they can source the best materials and services for your construction project. We have established partnerships with tradespeople across the Capital Region (Niskayuna, Rotterdam, Albany, and Clayton), so we can bring in reliable and qualified professionals to work on your project, ensuring high-quality workmanship and timely completion.
Time and Money Savings
While some homeowners may attempt to complete a home improvement project themselves, they often underestimate the amount of time and dedication required. By hiring a general contractor, you can save yourself a significant amount of time and money. General contractors, like Petra General Services, can take on the bulk of the work, from project planning and design to material procurement and construction. This frees up your time to focus on other priorities, such as work, family, or hobbies.
At Petra General Services, we work hard to secure discounts on materials and supplies, which results in cost savings for you. With over 15 years of multi-generation expertise, we can also help you avoid costly mistakes and oversights that can result from inexperience or lack of knowledge, saving you money in the long run.
Peace of Mind
Perhaps the most significant benefits of hiring a general contractor is peace of mind. Home renovations, kitchen/bath remodels, plumbing, roofing, decking or custom carpentry projects can be stressful and overwhelming, but Petra General Services can take on the responsibility of managing the work from start to finish. We will handle all aspects of the project, from obtaining permits to overseeing the work of subcontractors, ensuring that everything goes smoothly and stays on schedule.
Don’t forget, general contractors, like us, maintain comprehensive liability insurance, which means that you are protected in case of accidents or injuries that occur during your renovation or remodel. This can give you peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy the transformation of your home without worrying about the risks.
