"Mr. De Marco and his team began right on time and completed the project on time, despite learning that the deck support pieces were rotten upon pulling up the old decking. They had to fit in replacing the support structure completely and worked tirelessly and long hours to get it done - not just to finish on time for us but to also be able to keep their word to the next client to begin their project. The finished screened porch is more lovely, cool and shady (and bug free!) than we dreamed possible. Mr. De Marco came back as needed to tweak a few small items because he wants it to be just right and takes immeasurable (and well justified) pride in his work. He was flexible and patient as we asked questions or made adjustments."

"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.

"We wanted to remodel our newly purchased condo but didn't think we'd be able to afford all the projects we had in mind because of the limitations of our budget. A couple of local contractors in Gulf Shores had estimated a minimum cost of $40,000. We contacted Help-Around-the-House based on favorable Angie's List reviews and found that they more than live up to their great reputation. Dan Parks and his team worked closely with us from start to finish, not only helping us to stay within our budget but also coming up with ideas that were better than what we originally had in mind. All of the work was of high quality, yet it was done amazing fast. We couldn't be more satisfied with the final result. We definitely recommend Dan Parks and the Help-Around-the-House team to anyone who wants high quality work done at a fair price.

"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."

"What a great experience. He did the work on a Sunday which others seldom do. The job was completed professionally and he cleaned up afterwards. Additionally, he went to Home Depot himself and purchased additional trim. Extremely conscientious. I will definitely hire again."

"In each case, we chose not to use this contractor because the price was higher than other estimates and the nature of the work did not require the level of expertise that they would bring to the job. As a result we hired less expensive contractors who did a job with less quality but served the purpose we wanted to accomplish.
I would definitely recommend Grantwood Contracting for any job but especially one that is complex and desire quality end results."
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.
