"The project was well planned by Matt and his crew and went very well and smoothly. They were very professional and explained the entire process in installing the electrical gate opener. They tested and made sure the gate was opening and closing properly. I am highly satisfied with their work and would definitely hire Installect Solutions again."

"He got back to me in about an hour and a half, said he could come out about 930 that morning. He was running a little bit late, but he did send a message telling me his arrival time, which I greatly appreciated. It was nothing major and he told me what to look for in the future, and how to take care of myself. Even took a look at my blower amperage and the furnace amperage to make sure they are doing OK. We would definitely hire him again."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

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. 

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.
