Remodeling or renovating your home or business space is no easy feat. This is especially true if you are taking the DIY route. Whether you are tearing down outdoor structures or stripping walls down to the studs, here are a few reasons why hiring a demo team might be better than DIY.
Time
- Often we think that DIY projects save us time because we work at our own pace and on our own schedules. But in reality, hiring a contractor will save you valuable time. Demo experts will assess and execute each job as efficiently as possible. Good contractors work with your deadline in mind and use creative ways to get the job done in a timely manner. With this type of support, you don’t have to sacrifice your valuable weekends to get the job done.
Access
- When you hire a demo team, you have access to the professionals, tools, and materials you will need to get the job done. More than likely, you don’t have commercial tools and equipment lying around. To buy these tools at retail cost and put together a team to help you far outweighs the cost to hire the professionals.
Knowledge & Skilled
- It is important to have an understanding of basic structure before demolishing or expanding on your home or business. Hiring a demo team is the best way to navigate that process. Demolition experts understand where places are damaged by fire, weather or have structural defects. To limit mistakes and safeguard the integrity of the surrounding structures, it’s best to leave it to the experts.
Licensing and Permits
- Licensed demolition experts can navigate the permit process so you don’t have to worry. Good companies will have an up-to-date license, insurance and proof of bond. This protects you and your property in the event of injury or damage. This also protects the contractor from unforeseen problems as well.
Waste Management
- Demolition experts clean up and safely dispose of raw materials. They will separate the metals, concrete, brick, plastic, etc. and take them to the right recycling facilities. Demolition involves hazardous situations, like exposure to lead-based paint, sharp or protruding objects, and asbestos-containing material. Any good contractor follows OSHA protocol to ensure the safety of all parties and properties. More on OSHA Demolition protocols can be found here .
