Do NOT Hire Unlicensed Contractors

If you hire an unlicensed contractor for your project, your financial liability risks escalate. An unlicensed contractor is actually not a true contractor – they don’t have the license to make them such! This means that instead of being their own independent entity, they become your employee when you hire them for a job.

This puts the onus on the homeowner regarding liability for injuries that occur on the job. There’s a lot of work that goes into being an employer – that’s why an unlicensed contractor avoids it. You are responsible for providing a safe working environment and for the cost of any injuries resulting from work you as your employees to do.

Kitchen Remodel Ideas for 2020

Decades ago, the kitchen was an often forgotten room in the back of a home that was shunned by family and guests alike. It was an isolated area where the dirty deeds of making meals and cleaning dishes took place and not much else. Luckily, times have changed and the kitchen is now considered by many to be the heart of the home, where guests are entertained and families spend their evenings. As attitudes around the kitchen have changed, so have their function and style.

Most new gadgets made for the home center around kitchen needs. It’s now required to find a balance between function, comfort, and beauty. As such a melting pot of functionality, kitchen trends change rapidly.

DIY or Hire a Professional Contractor for Your Remodel?

Perhaps you have some handy skills or are confident at your ability to learn them as you go. Home remodeling is a great way to increase the value of your home, improve your living environment and your enjoyment. While there are many positive elements in a remodel project, it does come at a cost.

Many home remodeling projects become very expensive very quickly. One way to cut some costs is to complete the project, or a part of it, on your own. If you take on the wrong project for yourself, you could end up losing money and having to scrap the project if you end up unable to do it on your own.

There are endless choices to be made regarding the details of your remodel project. You could spend months planning the project itself and how to finance it. Many people become overwhelmed and paralyzed by so many decisions and options. Having some guidance on when to dive in yourself and how to make these decisions can be helpful and get you to the finish line.
