How much do general contractors typically charge?

<div><p>Generally, general contractors charge between <b>$50 and $150</b> hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of <b>10% to 20%</b> of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between <b>$300 and $500</b> daily if charged by the day. </p></div>

Do you get quotes from electricians?

<div><p>Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-verify-electricians-license.htm">verify each electrician’s license</a>. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate. </p></div>

What does a general contractor do?

<div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew</p></li><li><p>Provide realistic cost estimates</p></li><li><p>Develop construction timelines</p></li><li><p>Ensure deadlines are met</p></li><li><p>Acquire permits as needed</p></li><li><p>Purchase supplies and materials</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Should general contractors be certified or licensed?

<div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

What is the hourly rate electricians typically charge?

<div><p>Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from <b>$50 to $100 per hour</b>. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-electrician.htm">cost to hire an electrician</a> for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.</p></div>
