Many homeowners are attracted to the idea of remodeling a section of their home themselves. While this can be a fun DIY project, there are some renovations that remodeling contractors recommend never undertaking yourself. Bathrooms contain both plumbing and electrical appliances and is one of the most susceptible rooms to moisture. With this in mind, you should avoid doing the following remodels without a professional's help.

What Bathroom Projects Require a Remodeling Contractor?

1. Tiling

Tiling helps establish a bathroom's aesthetics, but the labor for installation can be costly. For this reason, many homeowners attempt to apply it themselves. However, unlike remodeling contractors, they don't have the experience necessary to place pieces in straight lines with even grout.

Professional help will also prevent water damage and mold growth from affecting your bathroom. That's because the remodeling contractor knows how to seal and properly finish the tiling to protect against moisture and humidity. As a result, they save you money in the long run.

2. Bathroom Fan

A bathroom fan needs to be the right size to work efficiently. If it's not large enough, it can't thoroughly remove humidity from the bathroom. Fortunately, a professional will know what dimensions work for your space.

The fan must not only be installed correctly; it also has to move air outside of the residence. The task requires cutting a hole in your roof and installing an exhaust hood, which is complex for someone without experience. A remodeling contractor knows how to establish a vent path from the bathroom to the outdoors without diminishing the home's structural integrity.

3. Electrical Rewiring

Depending on how much of your bathroom you intend on remodeling, reworking electrical wiring and moving outlets could be necessary. These tasks can be dangerous, putting you at risk of experiencing shocks. Also, a contractor should handle the job instead because the electrical wiring in your bathroom is near many plumbing features, which a homeowner could damage during a DIY project.
