"Utterly useless company. The owner John is very rude and does not care for Customers. Just behind cash. This company came along my way (unfortunately) through Home Warranty. The Technician did not show up on the appointment day. When I called later to check on this, I was told by John that we never had an appointment. When I sent the appointment confirmation notice from the Home Warranty company, John told me the "scheduling team" messed up. Very convenient. Finally, when the appointment was set for the following week, the Technician did not evaluate the issue properly. And further, they wanted to charge me additional $250 out of pocket for "modification" work which was not covered by the Warranty. When I called the Warranty company and escalated this, I was later told that the Maintenance company tried to reach me to explain the issue. WRONG! no one from Property Maintenance even texted me, forget calling me. I then read the online reviews and figured this Company and it's owner John are SCAM artists. I did not get the issue resolved through them. I just hired a handyman who not only fixed the issue but also told me no modifications were needed. And all this for half the price ! STAY AWAY ! JOHN and PRIMARY MAINTENANCE are SCAMSTERS !"

"I received a quote for roof and gutter repair. They had the lowest price, but also the worst contract terms. I asked to change the terms so that, for example, they would not be allowed to do additional work without first notifying me and if either party had to sue the other the prevailing party would be entitled to recover attorney's fees. (Their contract only allows them to recover attorney's fees.) However, Mike told me that their contract terms are non-negotiable."

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.
