Call a plumber for these jobs when it comes to kitchen & bathroom remodeling!
We love to remodel our homes. Whether it’s redoing the kitchen to allow for more seating or adding a larger tub in the bathroom, kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects are some of the most common home improvement projects that home and business owners undertake. It’s nice to know a local remodeling professional to help with these renovations. However, when it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, your run-of-the-mill remodeling contractor may not know about plumbing systems that are needed to do a safe, quality job. When that’s the case, it’s time to call in a plumber. Make sure your contractor is licensed to handle the following aspects of your remodel!
New Plumbing
For major remodels, the new layout may not match where the old hookups are. When that’s the case, it’s smart to call a local professional that understands the ins and outs of installing new pipes, water hookups, gas hookups, and more. When doing any new plumbing project, it’s vital to know it’s been done right the first time!
Appliance Installation
If your remodeling project includes new appliances, you’ll want to be sure a plumber ensures everything is installed correctly. Many times, the place you bought the appliance from will provide setup with delivery. But, if you need to install an icemaker or move the dishwasher across the room, you need to call a professional to help with these projects!
Code Compliance
Are you up to date on the latest version of your municipality’s building codes? We didn’t think so. Do renovations that don’t comply with city codes could void your homeowners’ insurance policy and may even be illegal depending on where you live. Make sure you consult a professional to ensure everything’s up to code in your new kitchen or bathroom!
Professionalism
We’re not doubting your DIY remodeling skills. We’re just saying that people who do DIY work have a tendency to overestimate their skills. With a professional, you can count on just that, professional-quality work that comes around to bite you in the end. This includes code-compliant work, integrated seamlessly into your remodeling design.
Gas Lines
Not even all plumbers can handle gas line installations, and you shouldn’t try to either. Make sure you know a qualified professional that can move or install gas lines in your home. The last thing that you want to do is create a gas leak that could be dangerous to the health of your family.
Think of your liability
It’s true – you can save a considerable amount of money by skipping professional labor and doing it all yourself. However, at what risk are you performing your own work? Remember, when something goes wrong due to faulty work, there’s no one to blame, and there’s no one to pick up the tab – it’s all on you.
