Renovation work can sometimes lead to structural issues, such as foundation problems or weakened support beams. These issues can be costly to fix and may not be immediately noticeable, so it is important to ensure that the renovation work is carried out by a professional and that any structural changes are properly inspected.


Electrical and Plumbing Problems

It is important to have a professional assess the electrical and plumbing systems before and after the renovation work to ensure that everything is in good working order.
