Most people think they can do this on their own. BTW, do you know the percentage of homeowners that will do more than one major remodel in their lifetime? It's not that many, let me tell you. They think they can handle it then they suffer the consequences. The next time they just buy what the need already in place, which, of course, is the best way.
I said I major remodel. Painting and new floors is not what I call a remodel. Neither is a significant landscaping job, something we all need periodically.

good points. i thought folks in LA, all oozing with cash like to farm out everything. like the prev mentioned wedding planner, professional organizers, car brokers,agents..the list goes on. when i do my remodel..big WHEN, i will probably DIY the management part. my house will be small scale to my job, but i hope the concept is the same. i will pay the money for an architect, and designer tho. and that would buy alot of cabinets also.
