When you are looking for someone to remodel your home, the main difference between a general contractor and a handyman is that a handyman might do a lot of the work themselves, whereas general contractors operate more like managers, so they’ve probably got a crew of workers who’ll be doing a lot of the work at once. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we realize that it may be wise to bypass hiring a general contractor if you only need one or two specialty jobs done, such as painting interiors, installing a new toilet, or replacing light fixtures. While the paint job could be handled by a general contractor’s crew, plumbing and electrical work is often subcontracted out to licensed plumbers and electricians. If you’re not having extensive remodeling done in addition to those specialty projects, you’ll just be paying the general contractor to act as the middleman to hire specialists you could’ve hired yourself directly. Just remember that you get what you pay for. Check out below to see what sold in Simmons Orchard in October 2021:

If you try to hire a handyman to complete a big job just because it’s cheaper than hiring a general contractor and their crew, you may wind up with one of those construction disasters that can actually decrease your home’s value.
