Why Should You Hire a Professional Miami Remodeling Contractor?

Some people hesitate to bring on a professional Miami remodeling contractor out of fear it will be too expensive. Here’s an important and valuable news flash for you: NOT hiring a professional Miami remodeling contractor is certain to be more costly in the long run!

However, you want to know why you should hire a professional Miami remodeling contractor, so here are 9 important reasons:

1. Permits – in this important area alone, you will save yourself lots of time, frustration, and potential fines by ensuring that all remodeling worked performed have obtained all the proper permits; a professional remodeling contractor knows which permits are necessary, all the hurdles to clear to get them, and how to file them
2. Insurance, Warranties, Contracts – even when you try to fly solo, you can’t do it all on your own and often hire outside help; what you haven’t thought of is if you need to cover them for worker’s compensation, and if they are on your liability insurance – that is always covered through a professional remodeling contractor, eliminating any potential liabilities to which you could be exposed
3. Estimating Cost – again, you want to leave it to the experts when it comes to determining the actual final cost of your project; thinking it is as easy as going on to Google, searching out the best prices for different materials, and adding it all up on a spreadsheet could be a costly mistake when instead you can look to pros who know precisely what everything costs, including obtaining the materials and installing everything
4. Trade Connections – a professional remodeling contractor can always find a lower-priced subcontractor than you are able to do by yourself; for one thing, they have a strong network, and secondly, they can rely on each other while you are seen as the outsider you are – they’re not out to gouge you, but they factor in an extra financial cushion as a margin for working with a one-time, unknown entity
5. Past Experience – logically, an individual who regularly takes on projects is more experienced in managing those projects, particularly larger jobs requiring more workers and perhaps several specialists; an experienced remodeling contractor knows almost intuitively how to coordinate every aspect of a project, ensuring a smoother and faster completion of the work
6. Shorter Timeline – unexpected delays are much more likely for the DIY-er, whereas a professional remodeling contractor knows how to get the job done efficiently, without shortcutting on quality or keeping subcontractors on the meter while waiting for other contractors to finish their tasks; when you try to create a realistic timeline for completing a project, you are guessing much more than a professional remodeling contractor would
7. Design Background – while the artist in you wants to soar, a good remodeling contractor can help keep your feet on the ground when it comes to practical matters, while also offering suggestions based upon previous jobs they have performed; while not able to read your mind, a professional remodeling contractor can read cues and hints, offering you ideas from a past project similar to your goals
8. Less Stress, More Success – while the idea of taking on a project by yourself initially sounds attractive, too often that same idea, later on, becomes yet another unfinished task nagging at you; even if it gets finished later, the original energy and excitement is long gone and the end result looks like something slapped together rather than thoughtfully crafted as originally envisioned
9. It’s Safer! – power tools, ladders, extension cords, and heavy materials are all fodder for a big accident, but when a professional remodeling contractor is in charge, using safe procedures and equipment is a standard practice

Now you know why you simply must hire a professional remodeling contractor, you should know why JMK Remodeling and Repairs should be your only choice. In addition to a breadth and depth of experience rarely found in the greater Miami area, we also are your neighbors; as a family concern, we live where our business thrives, making us an easy on-call point of contact for each and every housing need you may encounter.

What Are The Steps of a Miami Home Remodeling Project?

Here is a quick outline of what steps YOU need to take in a Miami remodeling project.

1. The Idea – typically, the very first step is that you have an idea of what you want remodeled. It may be a project you have been mulling over for a long time, or it may spring up due to immediate issues, such as a major home repair
2. The Budget – next, you need to determine a realistic amount of money you can afford to invest in your project; if you have a home line of credit, you still need to set a budget, instead of thinking the sky’s the limit
3. The Contractor – once the two above steps have been taken, it’s time to find a professional remodeling contractor; be sure to only work with an experienced, local, well-referenced contractor, such as you find with JMK Remodeling and Repairs
4. Enjoy the Outcome – with JMK Remodeling and Repairs as your remodeling contractor, you have a partner who cares about your end result and strives to contribute everything we can to deliver a finished project of which you are proud and satisfied

And here are the steps which JMK Construction & Remodeling typically take during your remodeling project:

1. Secure Permits – we immediately secure the proper permits to clear the decks for a smooth construction project with few or no delays
2. Order Materials – during the permit securing process, we are already organizing, identifying, and ordering necessary materials
3. Begin Demolition – once materials are obtained and permits are secured, we begin by removing old or damaged materials
4. Behind-the Wall Work – although this end result is not visible, we carefully and thoroughly construct the core of the project
5. Painting – once the behind-the-scenes work is accomplished, painting is the next task on hand
6. Flooring – after painting is completed, it is safe to lay flooring without worrying about stains or paint drips
7. Cabinetry – next, cabinetry is ready for installation
8. Finishing Touches – finally, floor sealing and final paint touch-ups, fixtures and hardware, and any other final details are added

For all projects, large or small, you, as owner and final decision maker, remain completely in the loop and are encouraged to follow the remodeling process as closely as you wish. It is our honor to see our clients involved and pleased with their final results, with any and all input provided by you through the process carefully considered and integrated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a contractor do?

A contractor will oversee the process of acquiring all the materials, equipment, labor, and other services necessary for the completion of the contracted project. While a remodeling contractor is responsible for all of the above, much of these tasks are contracted out to other specialists, while other larger remodeling contractors, such as JMK Remodeling and Repairs maintain specialists in-house for faster service and lower pricing.

How do I hire a remodeling contractor?

Rather than accepting the word of each contractor you contact, ask for references and look at past remodeling projects they have performed. This will give you a good sense of the quality and style of their work, so you can decide if they are a good fit for your project. Try to get several bids, but make sure each contractor is bidding for the same services for a fair pricing comparison. When you add JMK Remodeling and Repairs to the list, you should not be too surprised by the very fair and low bids we present; this is based upon our ability to manage most aspects of a remodel internally, saving you significant sums of money without sacrificing quality workmanship and materials.

Do I need a contractor for a kitchen remodel?

Due to its size, cost, and importance, any kitchen remodel must be left to professional remodeling contractors. As this is one of the most visible areas within a home and will strongly impact the overall value of the house, you want it to show its best face, both for personal use and enjoyment as well as increase the home value.

Do I need a contractor to remodel a bathroom?

Because of the intricate plumbing and health concerns, you should never take on a bathroom remodel without previous experience, nor is this a project suitable for a handy person used to minor repairs and improvements. Similar to your kitchen space, a beautifully designed and efficiently operated bathroom makes for a solid boost in your overall property value.

How long does it take to get an estimate from a contractor?

Of course, each contractor varies in their ability to meet with you, evaluate your needs, examine the logistics of the project, organize the stages and materials required for the entire process, and then prepare a clear, concise presentation that you can review in detail. While we cannot answer for every other contractor, it is our usual practice to perform all of the above functions and set up a follow-up meeting where were can present our proposal within 5 business days or sooner. We understand the excitement and anticipation of creating a new look within your existing space and will expend every possible effort to help that dream come true with as little delay as possible.
