If you’re a homeowner currently looking for a San Diego bathroom remodel contractor, you might have come across two types of contractors:
· General remodeling contractors
These types of contractors do not specialize their skills by room, they can remodel any the whole house, or any particular room you want. General contractors have a much wider scope than specialized contractors; and their scope is not even completely interior. Some general contractors also provide exterior remodeling services, as well as building entirely new constructions.
If you want to hire a general contractor to remodel your bathroom, you will need to check a few things:
o Bathrooms: The contractor must have experience with bathroom remodeling. Sometimes, general contractors claim to have ‘full-house’ experience, which literally translates to kitchen and bedroom remodeling with minor changes to the rest of the rooms. If the contractor has specifically mentioned bathroom remodeling on their website, along with details of past projects, then you can go ahead.
o Reviews: The contractor should have received good reviews for their bathroom remodels. General good reviews are important, but they are not necessarily relevant.
Here are benefits of hiring a general contractor
o Full bathroom remodel: A general contractor will work with you to design a bathroom that fulfils the functionality and aesthetic requirements of the homeowners. The fixtures in the bathrooms and the tiles on the walls will differ based on budget, giving you a room that does not exceed your budget.
o Bathroom expansions and additions: One of the biggest benefits of hiring a general remodeling contractor is that they have construction experience. Therefore, if you want to remove walls to make the room bigger, or use additional space to expand the bathroom, a general contractor is the perfect choice for you.
· Bathroom contractors
Specialized bathroom contractors will perform all the same functions as a general contractor, except for the expansion and addition.
Which is why they have similar benefits.
However, individual bathroom contractors may provide luxury features like exclusive branded cabinets and bathtubs. Your San Diego bathroom remodel contractor may also provide water filtration services, if you live in an area that has extremely hard water.
In conclusion, if you want to add to the construction of your bathroom in addition to a remodel, opt for a general contractor. If you want a luxury bathroom without changing the structure, you can opt for a specialized bathroom contractor.
