When the project is going to take more resources than you have available in your tool chest. Hiring a general contractor for major building renovations also ensures all the new structural changes will be done according to current building codes and that you will have gotten all the necessary permits. This is very important whenever the time comes that you want to sell the house, if that what you are modifying. Also, peace of mind ... general contractors are generally insured and licensed. If they do something wrong, they have to fix it.
