"Had them come out to fix a fuse blowing in house and lights were off. Once electrician showed and looked totally stumped continuously checking and testing wires. He applied some fixes but just threw pieces of wire, tape and other waste materials on my floor and did not bother to clean it up. He took apart light fixtures, switches and receptacles and did not put them back together when he left. He replaced the 20 amp fuse that was blowing with a 30 amp fuse which is dangerous and can cause other problems. When he was leaving I asked what the charges were and he refused to tell me and just said the owner would be in touch about the bill. (First red flag). About a week later the same fuse blew again along with an additional fuse which may have resulted from using the 30 amp fuse instead of a 20 amp. Called them, back and then they sent two electricians with one I believe was an apprentice who stood around and did nothing. Examined the very same wires again and popped all my 20 amp fuses THAT I PURCHASED AND PROVIDED TO THEM, during their trial and error to find the problem. Claimed it was a new additional issue not caused by the first guy who was there. Again would not tell me the charges when they left. Not more than two minutes after they left the fuse popped again and again lights out. Called them back and talked to the owner who seemed very irritated and insisted it was a new problem and not due to anything they did. Another electrician came out along with the owner himself this time who was rude and irritated and again examined the very same wires. Made a fix, refused to tell me the charges and then left. After they left, I realized that the 3 way switch that did control my kitchen light was now wired to control my refrigerator and I have no way or turning on the kitchen light. I informed them of this issue thinking they would be honorable and admit this was their doing. I did not have a problem with any of this until I received the bill. They charged me for all three visits and charged me for each guy that was there at $85.00 an hour each. There was absolutely no justification to have more than one guy there. All they had was an itemized list of each guys time (Hours) he was there (Which was heavily over estimated (as I did keep track of what time each one arrived and left) and for materials actually had the nerve to list the 20 amp fuses as charge as these WERE PURCHASED AND PROVIDED BY ME. They listed these materials they used but did not have listed what they charged me for each one on the bill (second red flag). In all, they charged me for 5 different electricians with 8 hours of labor between them (Not accurate as this amount was padded) and even charged me for my own supplies. Total bill was $631.00 dollars. Tried to reach out to them with my displeasure but have not heard back. Obviously a company that in my opinion charges the customer for their own mistakes and seemed to have very shady business practices. Would never use them again and would never recommend them to anyone else."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

The timeline for building a game room depends on the project’s complexity. Converting an existing room may take one to three weeks, while building a new addition or highly customized space can take several months. Factors such as permitting, material lead times, and contractor availability also impact the project schedule.

The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They’ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need permits for things like roof replacement and window replacement, depending on your local government.

Most commercial projects take 3-7 days, including curing time, depending on size and weather conditions.

There are several different steps in the pole barn building process. First, you’ll need construction plans, which you’ll use to obtain permits. Then, you can clear the land so it’s suitable for building and installing the foundation. Your contractor will frame the barn using large poles, then rough in the plumbing and electricity (if your barn has those elements) before finishing the interior, adding siding, and installing the roof. 

After that, they’ll finish up the electrical work and plumbing and add your windows and doors. You may have a few other finishing jobs to do like painting or waterproofing.

No, builders and general contractors don’t expect tips. In fact, some companies may prohibit their employees from accepting client tips. If you want to show gratitude for a job well done, consider writing a review of your builder or contractor or agreeing to be a reference for potential new customers.
