Q: Is a guest house a bump-out addition?

• <div><p>A guest house is not a bump-out addition. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-bump-out-addition.htm">bump-out addition</a> is a small home addition built onto a preexisting room of your house, like a bay window or walk-in closet. While you can do a bump-out addition to a constructed guest house, a guest is not a bump-out addition. Other common bump-out additions are extra living room seating, space for a bathtub in a bathroom, and extra cupboard space in a kitchen. </p></div>

Q: Do general contractors require a down payment for projects?

• <div><p>Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-reasonable-down-payment-contractor.htm">A reasonable down payment for a contractor</a> is <b>10% to 25% </b>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. </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%.

The overall experience was wonderful, and it leaves me optimistic that Mr. Wingfield is going to help me restore many things that have gone wrong with my house over the years. We also discussed the building of an entertainment system for my living room which I am eagerly anticipating.
