What does a kitchen and bath remodeling expert do?

A licensed kitchen and bathroom remodeler is a type of contractor who specializes in altering the structure of an existing space, rather than building one from the ground up. Because he or she must deal with a previous builder’s work, the job can get more complicated than new construction, for example. A kitchen remodeler translates architectural plans from page to reality; some also are trained to provide design services. Like a general contractor, a kitchen and bath remodeling professional is responsible for hiring and supervising subcontractors and providing materials when necessary. They also should have a thorough knowledge of building codes and construction-related legal issues, as well as current design and product trends. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of kitchen & bath remodelers: Carpenters, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects & Building Designers, General Contractors.
