When you are considering a remodeling project for your home, one of the first questions you’ll ask is where you should hire a general contractor to take on the job. This might be easy to answer if you have no interest in a “do-it-yourself” project—and many people don’t—or you don’t want to deal with multiple contractors. But you may also enjoy the challenge of tackling the job on your own, or you feel you can save money by hiring separate contractors to do the work. Is this a good idea, or should you begin looking for general contractors in Calabasas, CA for the job?

Understanding the General Contractor’s Job

Before we go further, let’s make sure that you grasp what a general contractor does. The general contractor is a coordinator for various different subcontractors involved in the construction project, such as architects, builders, plumbers, and electricians. The general contractor has the overall goal of managing an efficient completion of the project and taking on most of the responsibility for getting it done. 

Choosing to go without a general contractor doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing the project entirely yourself, but rather that you will handle the coordination of the different subcontractors: hiring, paying, scheduling, etc.

Our Specific Approach 

We want to make clear what Advanced Builders & Contractors does as a general contractor. We remove the subcontractors from the equation and have all the services under one roof. This reduces the chance of misunderstandings and miscommunications and further smooths out the process. We know the best people for the job because we work with them. The teamwork is already in place, the red tape has already been cut.

So … Should You Hire a General Contractor?

Although there are simple remodeling jobs, such as only putting in some new cabinets, where you may be able to hire only a single contractor, for anything more complex you definitely want a general contractor to make the process easier, faster, and more effective. Consider a bathroom remodel:
