"My wife and I were so grateful for Country Remodeling and Renovation LLC to come to our house repair our leaking water pipes. I called Dakota and he came out the same day and was able to replace old water pipes that were running from my front yard to under my house. Dakota and his co-worker work ho*** ** getting my house water lines back to normal. His quote on the repairs was honest and fair. Other plumber's quotes were not as fair as Dakota. My wife and I are going to call Country Remodeling and Renovation first on other house repairing jobs. It's hard these days to find a contractor that is honest and professional like Dakota. My wife and I thank you again Dakota for relieving us of a stressful house problem. If you need a house repairing job, I would call Dakota first."

"Lewis was professional, courteous, friendly, and helpful. He answered any questions I had, suggested things that would prevent other problems, and helped me with other improvements I was working on. My phone calls were either answered or returned within the hour. Anything I pointed out was taken care of. Prep work began 3 days after our initial meeting and painting soon followed. All work was done by Lewis with some prep work and painting done by Buddy. I had other contractors working in my home, and Lewis and Buddy worked around them. I am very happy with the results and would definitely hire HCP again.

"This contractor was the most responsive as noted in the timeline below.
Unfortunately, while in the final stages of the bid comparison process, this contractor withdrew their bid citing they were awarded a large job out of town.
As part of the bid comparison process I sent each contractor a list of questions and clarifications. This contractor answered most of my questions but not all. In fact there was but one contractor who responded to every question, which is the contractor I have selected to complete the replacement of my roof.
Timeline
30 July 2015: Late Thursday night I contacted the contractor and requested a quotation. The contractor responded the same night nothing they would call me the next day in order to arrange a time to view the job.
31 July 2015: On Friday, as promised, the contractor called and left me a voice message requesting a time to walk the job. I returned the call around noon and we scheduled the visit for the following day - Saturday.
01 August 2015: Two representatives from the company arrived at the predetermined time and immediately went to work walking the job down. They were very friendly and seemed quite knowledgeable regarding the work to be done. They answered all my questions and made several recommendations for ensuring I received a quality roof replacement and a couple of areas I would be able to save money on the job. The quotation was prepared onsite and provided to me before they left the property.
02 August 2015: I received a message from the contractor apologizing for failing to provide me with the discount offered all Angie's List members. I was told to subtract the discount amount from my total.
30 August 2015: On this Sunday night after reviewing all of my proposals, and in an attempt to ensure all were apples-to-apples, I sent each contractor a list of questions regarding their quotations. As previous, this contractor was very punctual and responded to several of my questions the same night. However, I noticed responses to a couple of the important questions had been overlooked. (see notes at top of page)
01 September 2015: I sent the contractor a follow up email noting a couple of the questions had been overlooked in the initial response and asked that a response be provided as soon as possible.
02 September 2015: I received a message via Angie's List and a phone message stating they must withdraw their bid due to being awarded a job out of town. They apologized and assured me I would be in good hands "with the other contractors."

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.
