Shower Remodel: DIY v.s. Hiring a Contractor

Are you considering remodeling your bath or shower? Maybe you’ve been watching DIY videos on YouTube and think that you can tackle the project on your own. While it’s true that some people may have the necessary skills and expertise to remodel their shower themselves, it’s often better to hire a professional contractor like DG Construction and Remodel. In this article, we will explore the reasons why hiring a contractor might be the better choice for your shower remodel project.

Design and Layout

One of the main benefits of hiring a professional contractor is the expertise they bring to the design and layout of your new shower. Our team of experienced professionals will help you create a design that not only meets your needs but also complements your personal style. We’ll work with you to select the right materials and fixtures that will bring your vision to life. Our designers can also help you choose the right tile size and color, and create a layout that maximizes the space in your bathroom. There are so many factors to consider when taking on a remodeling project. Where will your shampoo niche’ go? Will the tiles start and stop at the exact right places? Will a swinging glass door or slider door work best? What are the shower curb and drain options? What shower faucet do I pick? And the list goes on…

Efficiency and Speed

Another significant advantage of hiring the DG Construction and Remodel team, is the speed and efficiency with which we complete projects. Remodeling a shower can be a time-consuming and challenging process, especially if you’re doing it yourself.

Our team of experts has the necessary skills, tools, and experience to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

We understand that you want to get back to your normal routine as quickly and easily as possible, so we work tirelessly to ensure that the project is completed within or before the agreed timeline. We don’t boast that we can complete your project in 3 days or less like some companies or contractors – as each project is different. Always make sure to prioritize quality over speed when hiring a contractor. 

Materials and Tools

When it comes to shower remodeling, using the right materials and tools is critical. DG Construction and Remodel has access to high-quality materials and tools that may not be available to the average DIY enthusiast. We use only the best materials and tools to ensure that your new shower is durable, functional, and visually appealing. The weekend warrior or DIY enthusiast might spend hours running back and forth to Home Depot, Lowes, or your local hardware store.

Questions like:

What plumbing fittings are best? Which shower faucet should I use? Should my shower walls be green board, Hardie board, cement board, or Schluter? What Thinset, Mortar, or Adhesive should I use for my tile? Is porcelain, natural stone, or ceramic the best tile for my shower?

Your head might be spinning with so many options and questions. Our team of professionals know how to work with the materials and tools to produce the best results possible.

Expertise and Experience

Remodeling a shower requires expertise and experience that many DIY enthusiasts may not have. Whatever contractor you hire, make sure they have a team of experienced professionals who have the necessary skills and expertise to remodel your shower correctly. Our team of experts have years of experience in shower remodeling and are familiar with the various challenges that can arise during a remodel and know how to overcome them effectively.

Save Money

Many people think that hiring a contractor like DG Construction and Remodel will cost them more money than doing it themselves. However, that’s not always the case.

We can help you save money in several ways.

• First, we have access to contractor pricing, which can save you money on materials.
• Second, we have all of the necessary tools and equipment to complete the project without having to purchase or rent them.
