Believe me I speak from experience on this one. As far as hiring someone for renovations just make sure you do some homework. Either use someone that comes highly recommended from someone you know and trust, or make sure you screen them really well.

Ask for references and a portfolio of their past work. Get multiple quotes if need be, and if you don't feel right at any point during the renovation, don't be afraid to step in and say something. Get everything in writing and be wary of someone who will only take cash. For small jobs it's ok, but for major work you want a paper trail.
