What I learned from my kitchen remodeling was to not hire a general contractor, but instead find the general tradesman like Jeff to do the work. Get their fees spelled out ahead of time so you know what their charges are, and check if they charge markups on material in addition to their time to get the material.

We should have stopped at this point, but we paid a significant downpayment on the project since it was a large job. He told us the work would take about a week, but when he finally started he was working for over 3 weeks, and the work crews only came for partial days, never more than 4 hours of work were completed in any single day when they came at all. The subcontractors he brought in refused to complete the scope of work he had included in our contract. We finally cut off work when we observed that he and his workers were using unsafe practices on our property. They were removing a dead tree - one man cut a notch in the base of the tree while another man was on an extension ladder leaning on the tree with a chain saw cutting branches off the top. At this point we told him we didn't want the deck subcontractor to come (after waiting several weeks for him to show up). He insisted he was already on his way. I had to leave the house for an appointment and I told Tom, don't touch that deck until I return. So when I got home he had cut off several boards from the deck. Then the deck subcontractor refused to do the work as described in the contract. So we finally told Tom and the deck sub to put the deck back together. We settled the bill. I will never ask Tom to come back. We did not get all the work completed that was in our contract, and we definitely overpaid for what we got but at that point I just wanted him gone.

Subcontracting reviews from real Angi homeowners in Bruce Township, MI
Mr. Bid did not do this work himself. He subcontracted another company to do the work. I liked the guy that came to do the work but he didn't seem to have any sense of how to do this work without making a mess. They didn't tape off the vents, which were wide open without covers at the time of...

Full Service Electrical Contractor & Authorized Dealer for Generac Automatic Standby Generators. Licensed & fully insured electrician in business since 1989. Family owned & operated. Additional DBAs - Don's Electric, Dons Electric Inc.
"Don's Electric installed our Generac about 5 years ago. We, have since had them service it, and followed all the recommended service guidelines, and paid immediately upon completion. This year when they came to perform maintenance, they charged us for the service call, and noticed a gasket that had minor leaking, but recommended changing it this year, if possible. They, however, failed to have the gasket with them, or on hand. They asked if they could come the next week, and we said that would be fine. The next week they called to reschedule. When they did come out, they billed us $200 labor and $5 for the gasket. We talked to the biller and the owner's son, whom we were told now runs the business. Don, the son, took $25 off the labor fee. We felt that we were double dipped on labor. Had they had the gasket when they performed the maintenance, it would have been an additional $5. But since THEY failed to have it with them, and THEY failed to have it in stock, and THEY scheduled another trip to install it, we paid the hefty price of yet a double service call. We no longer recommend. Be careful what they bill you."

FAQs for subcontracting projects in Bruce Township, MI
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
