Interesting, my dad is often complaining about the opposite, what is the risk if he let's it do someone else? It's because he has reasons to make things in a particular way which some professionals dismiss and do differently. And then he finds out way too late and then can't really do what he planned or it involves a lot of extra work to work around the limitation.
I get this too. However, you'll usually be able to tell the professionals your end goal during the quoting process and if your requirements are reasonable, they'll work with you.
If they won't do that, then you get to ask yourself the next question:
If not, then you can just refuse the quote and work with someone else.
More often than not, the professionals know what they're doing and will be able to work around your requirements, and if they can't, they'll have competitors that can.
