"I had previously used Fixer to rebuild the appliance garage and under sink cabinet in my kitchen. Last Wednesday, I called them to unclog my bathroom sink and in doing so, the "plumber" broke my sink, rendering it unusable. They did send me a text acknowledging that the plumber admitted breaking it, and they quickly sent me a bill for the service call, so far, they have ghosted me about what they plan to do to replace my sink. Apparently, they will only communicate via text."

"We had Mr. Yilmaz provide an estimate for drywalling our 250 sq. ft. basement ceiling last week in which he verbally indicated it would be $712, plus the cost of renting a truck for an hour to grab all of the drywall. He indicated he’d be sending a written estimate in the next couple of days; however, we never received one. My husband called and texted him at least 3 times over the weekend inquiring on the written estimate, but received no response. Mr. Yilmaz finally responded to my husband on Monday (8/28) indicating that he was sorry for not responding and that it was a “bad weekend”. He then proceeded to state that he “incorrectly quoted” the job as it represented regular drywalling and not drywalling a ceiling. He sent a new estimate Monday night displaying a total of $1,188.75. In just a matter of days, our drywall estimate suddenly increased by $476.75; almost $500 dollars?! This man is CLEARLY a scammer and extremely unprofessional in how he handles his business. I would absolutely NOT recommend Sabri Yilmaz and his company unless you’re looking for a headache and to be given the run-around in pricing."

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.
General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:
Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew
Provide realistic cost estimates
Develop construction timelines
Ensure deadlines are met
Acquire permits as needed
Purchase supplies and materials
Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:
Which types of insurance do you carry?
Can you provide a list of references?
What is the expected timeline for this project?
How will my project be supervised?
Will you hire subcontractors for the job?
What is the best way to communicate changes?
Will you obtain all of the required building permits?
While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
