Q: Should I pay a contractor 50% up front?

• <div><p>Contractors may require a down payment before they begin a project&mdash;especially for those that require a lot of materials. Check with your contractor to see how much they require up front before signing a contract, but they should not ask for more than 50%. Never pay in full before work begins.</p></div>

Q: Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it&rsquo;s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won&rsquo;t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn&rsquo;t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses&mdash;like living space&mdash;whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won&rsquo;t.</p></div>

Q: What is the percentage of contractor profit?

• <div><p>Most contractors aim for about a 20% profit on a job, leaving themselves room for unexpected expenses or delays. After accounting for materials, labor, and insurance, the profit margin for most contractors is between 10% and 20%. Fluctuating costs of materials and labor affect the ultimate percentage.</p></div>

Q: Is building a new home worth it?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homebuilding-101-learn-what-expect-when-building-home.htm">Building a new home</a> can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder&rsquo;s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to hire a hardscape contractor?

• <div><p>In most cases, the cost of hiring a hardscape contractor is a worthwhile investment. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-hardscaping-benefit-my-lawn-and-landscape.htm">Hardscaping projects</a> can get quite expensive, but they improve the utility of your yard, boost your curb appeal, and usually improve the value of your home. Patios, decks, retaining walls, and other components are challenging to install, and mistakes can be costly. Hiring a hardscape professional is usually the best course of action when it comes to these types of projects.</p></div>

Avoid! Cannon Pricket is not reliable or honest. After nine months of having our $10k deposit, he did not complete our barn project. We are still waiting to receive the remainder ($3000) of our deposit back after cancelling due to his lack of communication and zero reliability. It’s a shame...

We were not impressed. We decided not to use this builder. Not a custom builder. They wouldn't make changes to house plans, not even for a price. Also beware everything is a "up grade".
