        "text": "You need professional assessment when you observe soft floors, electrical hazards, or persistent sewer odors. While cosmetic painting or swapping a towel bar suits DIY work, foreclosures frequently hide compromised subflooring beneath toilets and showers that require structural framing repairs. Additionally, ungrounded outlets near water sources require licensed electrical attention to meet safety standards. Hiring a general contractor who handles drywall, tile, and finish carpentry while coordinating licensed trades ensures all underlying plumbing and electrical repairs are completed properly before cosmetic finishes are installed.",
