REGAL CONCEPTS & DESIGNSBurgio Stucco company just completed a re-stucco job on our large house. It was a challenging project because it had never been completed 20 yrs ago (by another company) because we thought then, that we might tear down and rebuild parts of the house. So there were areas with original color...
BURGIO STUCCO INCI intentionally waited on submitting this review until the wood flooring had some time to settle and I could do a proper review. First of all I wanted to explain what we had done. We had a new(ish) home that had carpeting on the stairs, landing and upper craft room (a small room upstairs). ...

"We sing the contract; the contractor came and measured the concrete stairs and existing broken handrail, and we got quote sing the contracts paid deposit and they came to install it just to see that the handrail they ordered was too small. Then they went silent for 2 months. It is October and we sing contract in August, we finally got response that the contractor got busy with larger projects...This is very disrespectful and non professional behavior."

"I hired US Pacifica Builders to completely remodel my backyard and front yard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! In the backyard, they installed beautiful artificial turf, stepping stones, and decorative river rock that transformed the space into a clean, modern, and low-maintenance retreat. Their attention to detail really shows! For the front yard, they built a solid retaining wall, poured custom concrete steps, and handled all the electrical work seamlessly. The final look is not only functional but also adds great curb appeal to my home. The team was professional, communicative, and completed everything on time and within budget. I highly recommend US Pacifica Builders for any landscaping or outdoor construction project. You?ll be in great hands!"

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.
