What types of projects will a general contractor manage?

• <div><p>General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homebuilding-101-learn-what-expect-when-building-home.htm">building a new home</a> or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.</p></div>

Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Q: Should I pay a contractor 50% up front?

• <div><p>Contractors may require a down payment before they begin a project&mdash;especially for those that require a lot of materials. Check with your contractor to see how much they require up front before signing a contract, but they should not ask for more than 50%. Never pay in full before work begins.</p></div>

Q: How long does garage epoxy last?

• <div><p>Your epoxy garage floors will last <b>two to 10 years</b>,<b> </b>depending on foot traffic and maintenance. Clean your floor regularly with a mop or a power washer using a diluted ammonia or degreaser solution. Use five ounces of ammonia per gallon of water or a half-cup of degreaser per gallon of water.</p><p>Also, sweep regularly, clean up any spills right away, and install mats in places where you expect the most foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: What part of the house takes the longest to build?

• <div><p>Framing tends to be the longest step in the construction process, especially for larger homes. It takes anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the house size, the number of people on the construction crew, and the time of year. The design stage often takes a long time, too. Some people spend months or even years contemplating their house&rsquo;s size, layout, and materials before construction begins.</p></div>

I used Christine’s personal assistant service. She was able to help build me a manageable schedule for the holiday months, including a grocery shopping plan to help me stay within my budget. She helped me to finally go through my kid’s clothing and try her closet in order again. Thank you!
