        "text": "Hiring a single general contractor is significantly more efficient and less stressful than managing separate trade specialists yourself. A single contractor provides one point of contact, taking responsibility for the timeline, material sequencing, and overall quality. When managing independent painters, tile setters, and framers on your own, schedule slips by one trade often cause delays for the others. A lead contractor who handles carpentry, drywall, and tile in-house can seamlessly coordinate rough-in trades and move from framing to final paint without costly down-time.",
