"Please do not hire this company. They are untrustworthy and barely communicate. They took my deposit and did not deliver. I contracted Alecia Respondi on the 2nd of April 2020 and the project of 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens as per her contract was supposed to complete on June 11, 2020, On that day her contractor tells me he has quit. Since then I have been trying to call her and she barely responds. You have to call her over 15 times and after 3 days she or so her fiancee Marek Mikolajczyk responds and keeps feeding me lies like the contractor will come in a day, then 2 days, then an hour and now they have stopped responding all together. Its been a week and no one has showed up. My project is less than 30% done. They didnt have the decency to refund the deposit I paid. Please DO not contact this company, they are shady and you will lose your money. Additionally, She is known to write fake reviews, something her contractor shared with me when he quit."

"Pawel was fantastic to work with. He responded to my request with extreme promptness and was easy to communicate with as far as explaining the project and setting up a time. His workmanship is top-notch. This was pre-painted/finished crown molding that was more of a plastic than your typical wood and it was cut and mounted perfectly - no visible seams. Any questions that impacted the install he asked prior to doing that part of the work. Communicates well throughout the process. The pricing was very reasonable as well. Would definitely hire again."

Contractor services FAQs
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.
