Home Remodeling - What a PAIN !!!

Tweet

So you have the choice of hiring a general contractor who supposedly rides herd on the tradesmen to get the job done. On the other hand, you can use a "handyman" for certain things and call out each specific trade (a plumber, an electrician, a carpenter, etc.) and have to deal with scheduling and no shows. So this time I have had both. The general contractor never finished the job, although I am sure he marked up the work done and made a nice profit. Next come the handymen who had to re do and re do, till there really was no savings. Now I am dealing with specific trades, one to snake drains but they don't do work with the actual plumbing fixtures. The only work that got done on time was the work I did myself. How frustrating. Have you ever run into this exasperating problem?
