    A good general contractor will have a list of trusted, reliable, quality sub-contractors. DIY GCs typically don't have this network. It can make finishing your project very frustrating, expensive, and time consuming.

    ETA: sub-contractors are likely to charge you more since it is a one-off job. One benefit of having a network or frequently used sub-contractors is getting a "good price" on work based on volume. So that 10% "more" you pay to a GC is likely going to be very similar to what you will pay individual sub-contractors.
