The Benefits of Hiring a Licensed Contractor to Build Your Home
September 16, 2014Some homeowners feel like it will be easy to bypass hiring a licensed contractor as long as they stay organized and have a clear vision of their home in mind. It may seem like skipping the cost of hiring a general contractor by working directly with the sub-contractors and vendors will be easy, but doing so can cause a lot of stress for the homeowner. As a respected home builder in the Ocala, FL area, we can tell you with certainty that hiring a general contractor for your project will save you money and get the job done right. Here’s why.
Contractors Are Licensed and Experienced
It is absolutely essential to ensure that the company you hire is licensed and experienced. This is step one. Every quality contractor will be licensed and can show you examples of past work. Knowledgeable builders can navigate the local construction industry swiftly and efficiently, saving you time and allowing you to meet your deadlines. They can also alleviate some of the legal burdens of home building because they understand the ins and outs of inspections and building permits.
Builder Insurance and Warranties
As a homeowner running a construction project on your own, you assume the liability if something goes wrong. Why not allow an insured general contractor to assume the responsibility of making sure your house is built safely and correctly? In addition, most builders will offer a warranty on the homes they build. While problems don’t normally occur, Luetgert Development will always be there to fix issues that may arise in our residential properties. Whether it’s by making improvements to the home or by working with manufacturers about a defect in their materials, our warranty is for life.
Better Deals and Quality Vendors
Established contractors have formed relationships with quality vendors and subcontractors. They know where to get the best products for the most affordable prices. When working with a general contractor, homeowners can have peace of mind knowing that their homes are being built with trusted materials and by respected subcontractors.
