Then you'll be on their hourly rate while they talk rather than do. To be fair they may be ok with that.
I ended up rowing with my wife over what she thought should be perfection and me knowing I'd got what I paid for when we have had work done in the past. We all have different assumptions, expectations and experiences.

A lot of this - we're still working through the snagging and even with what I think have been excellent team I am seeing things which are slightly off and which if I'd spent the time going over at the time would probably have been easily remedied. But that would have meant taking time out of work or with my family so not really worth it.
I also think that speaking as a not particularly practical/DIY person I want to walk through the options and try to understand things from first principles, so that we get it right first time and understand the tradeoffs we might need to make. Which is how I'd do things in work. It isn't quite as easy as that with trades from my experience but when it has been possible I've found the results are better for both parties.
