Why clients should go direct to the designer or builder

While 3rd party services like My Builder may seem convenient for finding contractors or tradespeople for home improvement projects, there are several reasons why people should exercise caution and consider alternative methods. One of the main issues with these services is that they often do not provide sufficient vetting or screening of the contractors or tradespeople listed on their platform. This can lead to homeowners hiring unqualified or inexperienced individuals who may not provide quality work or even cause damage to the property. Additionally, these services often charge high fees or commissions to contractors, which can result in higher costs for the homeowner. Finally, when issues or disputes arise, these services may not provide adequate support or resolution, leaving homeowners with little recourse for addressing problems. In contrast, working directly with a reputable contractor or tradesperson who has been recommended by trusted sources or who has a proven track record of quality work can provide greater peace of mind and a higher likelihood of a successful project outcome.
