Our door had been going up fine, but getting it to come down was another story, no matter which remote we used. It was a hit & miss, and sadly, we had to leave the door open a couple of times when no one was home. Scary. It vibrated and was very, very noisy and made screeching sounds which scared us, the dog (& probably the neighbors, too). It seemed like it wasn't going to hold much longer. Fortunately, Rob came to our rescue. While he couldn't make our original time slot on the 7th, he called in plenty of time to set a new one, same day. He saw right away the obvious (to him... lol) reason why the door wasn't closing. He straightened out the sensors and tightened them, so they could actually see each other and allow the door to come down every time. He showed me how to fix that problem in the future if it should happen again. I left him alone to do his inspection, grease tracks, lube whatever you call the other parts, and soon he asked to show me what he'd done and what needed to be fixed. The rollers (all 10 of them) were wobbly (causing the vibration) and scraping against ball bearings (making the loud noise). These needed to be replaced for $7.80 each, totaling $78.00. Rob explained this was a common problem after years of wear, so he always kept the parts on hand. I gave him the go ahead, and he went to work. After everything was completed, he showed me the quieter and stable door with the new rollers. Yay! He also pointed out things that were done incorrectly at the original installation before we owned the house, such as using old parts instead of the new parts supplied to install a new opener, setting up only one spring when there should have been two, etc. Before he left, he educated me on the proper way to open and close the door manually in case of a power outage, or if the door just wasn't going up or down at all. Then he showed me how to use the different buttons on our opener's wall-mount box. I had no idea we could lock it so the door wouldn't open by any remote if we were going out of town or whenever else it was needed. All that to say, I was very happy with his work and expertise. Any number of companies would have taken advantage of my lack of know-how, but he didn't do that. He lived up to my impression he would be honest and trustworthy. I would call him again (he even provides 24/7 service), and will recommend him to friends and neighbors. My husband and I are very thankful for Rob's good, affordable, work. Well done, Rob!.

FAQs for contractor service projects in Grand Ledge, MI
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.
