"The construction went very well. It actually was completed before the estimate - it helped that I wasn't living here at the time. The workmanship is stellar and I am very pleased with the final product. They were responsive to my requests for little things to be changed - like the lights were installed upside down from what I wanted or the toilet paper holder needed to be moved. Angelo was friendly and I felt that he was taking care of my house & me like a father. Rose in the office answered every email and question in a timely manner. She's also followed up when I had an issue with my new dishwasher."

"Ed and his team did a superb job on our Kitchen. It was a big job. The kitchen had not been touched for over thirty years. We had a wall removed and we closed an outside entrance in order to have a larger and longer dining/kitchen area. The contractor team lead was Danny, and his team members (Rosendo, Kevin, Juan and Pablo) were absolutely the-best-crew. They were prompt everyday and kept me informed on a daily basis of their progress. If for some reason they would be late or needed to leave early Danny would tell me ahead of time. Danny would also tell who on his team would be there. They worked very hard and the quality of their workmanship is top notch. Their attention to detail in every task they performed has produced a lovely remodeled Kitchen and dining area. We LOVE IT. Everyone who sees it also LOVES IT. My wife and I couldn't be happier with Ed and Mastercraft and Design and I would recommend them in a heart beat, and have to everyone I talk too. If you are planning a job hire them, don't even bother to get other quotes. They are that good. They did everything from demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, paint and trim. They installed all the lighting and appliances. The only thing they didn't install were the countertops, but those are beautiful too. They are definitely a one-stop-shop. I rarely comment on line, but their work product so pleased us it was the very least we could do. Again: hire them, they are that good."

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

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.
