Understanding General Contractors versus Specialists

Hi, my name is Vicki. I love old homes, and my husband and I bought a "fixer-upper" a few years ago. Although we are quite handy and did much of the repair and reconstruction on our own, we still had to hire several contractors to help us. We had a stellar general contractor, and he always advised us on when it was better to go with a specialist. For example, he steered us toward specialists for our roof flashing and some of our custom joinery work. If you want to know when to hire a general contractor and when to look for a specialist, this blog is designed to help. It looks at that issue as well as many other issues related to contractors.
