Wet Work - Take into consideration hiring a contractor in the event you plan to remove or move a tub, find a shower, replace plumbing fixtures for example a toilet or a kitchen sink or are adding illumination or changing light fixtures. A plumbing contractor are able to install a new toilet, drop in a new sink and hook up faucets or set a pedestal sink.
  
  3. Scorching Work - An electrician will add or transfer outlets. If you are contributing recessed down lights inside your ceiling, an electrician can suggest a fixture to suit the depth to your ceiling above the drywall. Your electrician can also determine if you have enough circulation space in the fixtures so they don't overheat that will also recommend fixtures which can be suited to wet spots.

  Make sure your contractor is licensed, has adequate coverage with workers compensation insurance to your state, and contractors general liability insurance. Have him list you as an additional insured specific for a project.
