My experience covers everything from small interior renovations to full ground-up builds, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the entire construction process from start to finish.\n\nI have successfully completed a wide range of projects, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, full home renovations, additions, and new construction builds. Whether transforming an existing space or starting from the ground up, I take pride in delivering high-quality workmanship with attention to detail and a focus on long-term durability.\n\nMy approach is hands-on and organized.

"One thing Shawn arranges for is to have a lady come in and clean/dust everything after they are done with dry wall sanding and such. That was a nice bonus.  He also found a spectacular carpet cleaner guy to get out stains and wax tracked in on carpeting. Carpet still looks great!

Shawn has a helper named Mike, and Mike is a hard worker. Mike shows up on time, and works as long as he has to without complaining. Shawn does have sub contractors for dry wall and painting.  His painter (Melbin) does an awesome job, but some of the guys that help Melbin are rather sloppy, leaving paint in sinks and splatters on counters.  Shawn made sure it was all taken care of later on though.  Shawn's dry wall guy (Carlos) knows how to get the job done pretty well, but wasn't very conscientious about making sure surfaces were protected (like floors, carpets, etc) from the dry wall compound, and he dumped the waste down in the street sewer- a big "no-no."
  I agree with another reviewer that stated Shawn seems to have a lot of things suddenly "come up" and seems to have too many "irons in the fire." There were several times when Shawn didn't show up when he said he would. Sometimes we would be contacted as to why, other times not.  I think this is common among contractors, unfortunately. They seem to have a whole different concept of time.

Shawn finished the job within a week of our deadline. We had some unexpected add-ons that understandably lengthened the job. "

"Every aspect of their work and attitudes was wonderful.  JD responded quickly, after the first phone call.  He provided accurate estimates, and explained everything he was doing with .  They kept their appointments and all three men who worked on the house were incredible.  The men who work with him are his employees and not temporary or outside contractors.  They were a delight and even were kind to my rehabilitated birds who didn't realize they were to fly away!
They were exacting in their work and obviously took pride in what they do as they left everything very clean and wiped all spots and fingerprints off the windows.  I thought my eyes had miraculously improved!
I highly recommend Wood Rot Solutions.

"We recently bought a home with a detached garage that needed significant foundation repair. We were told by several larger, well known contractors that they would not do the job due to the amount of work needed and concern that the structure would fall while lifted."

"In October 2018 we hired Ryan Hild and KC Exterior Pros to install new siding, trim, gutters and fascia on our 3-story 34 year-old home. Their price was not the lowest price proposal we received but it was far better than the other Hardie Board competition due to the high level of expertise KC Pros brought to the job. The crew came on time, worked 10 hours a day, left the work site pretty clean each night and came every day but Sundays until the job was completed. The results and the foreman’s response to our questions/requests were excellent. We were not asked to pay a penny until the job was complete and we were completely satisfied. There are so many dodgy contractors out there it is great to find someone who is honest, fast and delivers exactly what they say they will deliver. If anyone asks us to recommend a siding installation company, KC Pros will be the first name we will utter!!"

FAQs for contractor service projects in Lexington, MO

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.
