Orange County General Contractors Are More than Handymen

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County General Contractors Are More than Handymen

Are you looking to do some remodeling or renovating of your Orange County home? Many local handymen offer services, but should you trust one to remodel your kitchen or bath? Orange County general contractors like Inspired Remodels are much more than handymen, they are seasoned, licensed, and insured construction professionals. Here’s what makes them more than just a handyman.

Relevant Experience

If you are changing more than just the hardware on your cabinets, you want experienced professionals. Heck, you can change cabinet knobs, pulls, and handles yourself.  But if you are installing custom cabinetry, new lighting, removing or building walls, or moving appliances or bathroom fixtures, you need an experienced professional.

General contractors have experience in construction, remodeling, and renovation before they even sit for their licensing exam. Their license application requires disclosure of their educational and work experience.

Pass Multiple Examinations

There’s no professional examination for a handyman.

Your Orange County general contractor must pass a minimum of two state-level exams.  The first exam tests their knowledge of building codes and best practices for building in California.

A second exam tests their knowledge of business practices, concepts, and law. Not only must they know construction law, they must also have a working knowledge of general business law in California.

In addition, prospective contractors may sit for a trade examination as well. The California State Licensing Board offers professional licenses in plumbing, electrical, and other trades.

Bonded and Insured

A general contractor receives their license only after proving they have a liability bond and insurance. And, they continue to provide this proof each time their license is renewed.

Also, contractors carry liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance in case anyone gets hurt on the job. Did you know that if a handyman gets hurt working at your house, you are responsible for their medical bills.? You must file a claim with your homeowner’s insurance or else pay medical bills out of pocket if that handyman gets hurt.

Knowledge of Local Code, Permit Requirements, and Suppliers

Your general contractor knows the building code and when your municipality requires a permit. In addition, Orange County general contractors like Inspired Remodels maintain close relationships with suppliers and subcontractors. This gives you access to materials and workers the handyman can’t bring to the table.

Permits and inspections may feel like a hassle, but you can be responsible for unpermitted repairs if they fail inspection when you decide to sell your house. That’s pennywise and pound-foolish.

What will your next home remodeling project be? If you can’t decide, take a look at what Inspired Remodel created recently in Orange County. Whether you need some ideas to change up the kitchen or bath or just want to update the whole house, you’ll find inspiration from Inspired Remodels.

Zellige Tile

Want to bring a little bit of Moroccan style to your Orange County home? Designers just can’t get enough of zellige tile. It’s definitely trending up.

Hand-cut tiles from Moroccan clay get an update with modern glazes. Instead of playing a bit part in a mosaic (pun intended), they take the starring role.

Each tile is distinctly different. From the glazing to the size, each handcrafted tile is beautifully unique.

Working with zellige tile requires planning, patience, and skill. If your home remodeling project includes zellige tile, work with a contractor with experience using this material.

Feeling the Blues

Orange County homeowners are feeling the blues in a good way. Inspired Remodels delivers kitchen and bathroom visions in the dreamiest shades of blue.

Blue is peaceful and calm. The psychology of blue lends trust, that’s why it’s popular as a brand color.  But it also brings about feelings of stability and security. That’s why you find blue in more and more Orange County homes.

Blue in the kitchen, blue in the bathroom, blue for every room in the house.

Unlike shag carpets from the 60s, blue isn’t going to go out of style.

Fireplaces

Modern fireplaces eliminate the need to cut, stack, and store wood. Then there’s that pesky business of getting the fire started.

Gas and electric fireplaces are hot (yes, yet another pun). This new take on an old household staple makes enjoying a fire easy, any time of the year.

Electric flames offer a decorative touch without creating heat. Go ahead! Curl up by the fire in July.

Gas flames provide warmth and ambient light without the mess of ashes and soot.

 

Pools

Pool areas make outdoor living fun for the whole family. Treat your poolside space as an extended living area.

Outdoor kitchens make meal preparation easy without heating the house. Now that’s one way to beat the heat.

Be sure your outdoor home remodeling project includes fans to keep air moving. This reduces those pesky bugs and makes the area feel cooler than the actual temperature.
