"My experience with Jorge and his team was excellent from the first encounter. Jorge reviewed my highly detailed requirement lists and the architect drawings. He took the initiative to meet with the architect to clarify questions; managed all permitting needs; was extraordinarily attentive to the work of his team and all the subcontractors. He consulted with us when there were options to consider and provided a balanced assessment and recommendations. We have had experiences with 4 different general contractors over the past 15 years and found George's Construction to be the best experience with best pricing in this complex project of building a multi-function garage and entertainment space."

I grew up on a farm. I went to college. I have been a successful business owner for 6 years. Before starting my Contracting business I was a superintendent for a large glass company. I specialize in door and window installation/ replacement, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, and demo/abatement work. Certified for Lead Abatement and swinging stage platform work. Have experience in project oversight, consulting, and good old labor. I enjoy design and engineering challenges, custom built and artistic projects but give the same attention to detail on the plain design jobs. I am probably too honest to get rich doing contract work, but i think that is something to be proud of. Im hardworking and resourceful making me a 1st choice for your next project.. I do consultation and oversight of many types of Contracting and construction jobs. My insight and experience across the board make me a valuable asset to customers who want the most for the money.

I have been in residential renovation for 10 years, working for contractors and real esate investors. I was financially able to start my own company 3 years ago buying run down houses in Louisville and flipping them, while still doing subcontract work for clients I used to work for. Now I have the financial freedom to help individual clients renovate their own homes which has been even more rewarding for me.\nI love what I do and I respect my clients homes as if they were my own. I take pride in doing high quality work at a very reasonable price. The biggest reason for the switch to individual home owners is seeing so many contractors gouging their clients and doing substandard work.\nI am still flipping houses as my main business so I am only taking on smaller renovation jobs at the moment. bathroom, kitchen, basement finishing, tile, flooring, small plumbing and electric jobs\ncall me for a free quote today

FAQs for contractor service projects in Shively, KY

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.
