"My basement got flooded during IDA, after contacting with couple of contractor I met with Matt, He came on time and explain everything what needs to be done also provide a reasonable price. He started to work immediately with his team. His work was very professional, he did everything as he promised and completed the work on time. He was the most professional, clean and trustful contractor I have met so far. He was always top of the every process and he was paying attention to every small details even I didnâ t see them during the construction. I highly recommend him, I also started recommending him my friends. I will 100% contact him even if I have a small project in the future, Thank you Prestige Design and Build for Beyond Expectation."

"—-Great Contractor —- We decided to remodel our kitchen and after speaking with a few contractors, we chose Built- Well Builders. From the initial consultation we found Grant and Keith to be great to work with. They did an amazing job with the kitchen, which was on time and on budget and they kept us informed though out the project. They are professional, neat, responsive and personable. Their product knowledge along with vendor relationships were quite beneficial to us when selecting the materials needed for our kitchen. From demolition to the finished product, we were very satisfied and would definitely call Grant for our next project Edwin"

"Bex is hands down the most capable and reliable contractor I've ever worked with. I have thrown all sorts of challenges at him in our new apartment, from removing a pocket door and converting it into a regular door, to fixing the wall and plumbing behind our washer/dryer and much more. He has met every challenge. He's also very courteous and careful. I can't recommend him enough!"

"A few years ago Andrew Ramirez performed emergency service as a result of significant flooding and water damage in our basement. Mr. Ramirez acted as our insurance claims handler, contractor, and designer supplying the necessary labor, materials and equipment to complete this project. When water damage occurred in our kitchen only a few days ago we immediately placed a call to Mr. Andrew Ramirez . We want to share with the world the many talents of this man. Style, taste and class are the adjectives that come to mind when trying to describe Andrew as a contractor, designer and problem solver. He has the uncanny ability to bring out a rooms potential mastering angles and space. After our major flood Mr. Ramirez not only fixed the water issue but renovated the entire basement of our home. Andrew Ramirez worked with us on every aspect of the project suggesting we meet as a team -contractor, designer, claims adjustor. Another example of his professionalism, In additional, Andrew Ramirez has a unique expertise with insurance claim handling. Excelling in organization including detailed paper work, quotes and detailed e-mails are all a natural part of his repertoire. There are no surprises when you are a client of his. Phone calls are immediately returned and Andrew leaves not stone unturned for excellence. In keeping with the spirit of collaboration Andrew has made numerous phone calls with our insurance company, suppliers and other people involved in our total renovation design project. Another great aspect of working with Andrew and his company is his relationship with other resources. He is always on top of the timing of things making any major house project as painless as possible. Andrew Ramirez is far from a "yes" person. His honesty and up front manner is one of his most important characteristics. In addition, Andrew seems generally concerned about cost and we had the feeling that he handled us as if he were doing this for his own home. It is clear from working on our second project with Andrew that he is passionate about his work and sincere when you are his client. We highly recommend this remarkable man and his company to anyone who is looking for quality work!"

"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

"BUYER BEWARE. I hate long reviews...but I wish someone rang the warning bell with a review of their experiences before we used Ernest & Sons.
To be fair In the end the job was done--but at what cost? We worked with Jose a few years back to replace our driveway. Jose and team did an excellent job. So when we wanted to have our patio and walkway done we called Ernest and sons again. This time we dealt with Ernest. Initially he was nice and helpful showing me other patios completed. We were very specific on timing to finish the project he was in agreement understanding weather delays could impact the completion.
Once the contract was signed ...communications on their side stopped. We had to call several times to see when the project would start. Once the job started the guys on site were nice but they did not speak much English and there no project manager to check in to see how things were going.
When the job was done there was light rain and we noticed pools of water on the patio. I put paper cups in the standing water and took pictures. I contacted Ernest he came out and never conceded there was a problem as he looked at the standing water. However he sent a crew back (again we had not paid yet) to remove the pavers and ensure it was level. They removed pavers in different areas 5 TIMES to level the patio. While I truly appreciate their efforts...why didn't the first crew simply get it right.
DAMAGES TO OUR YARD AND NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. In the process of building our patio they drove trucks onto our yard
and the neighbors damaging both yards. I immediately took pictures and called Ernest--he assured me all damages would be taken care of. When the job was complete his guys put seeds down and we paid in full. However almost a month later there were only spots of grass and both yards still damaged.I called again sent more pictures and he sent another crew that told my husband they were putting down the 'good stuff this time' (really). We watered the lawns twice a day same as before...the damage is still there are now we have to pay out of pocket to fix our lawn and our neighbors!
ICING ON THE CAKE. Company called and asked if Ernest could bring a potential customer to see the patio. My husband agreed assuming he could talk to Ernest about damages. Ernest was no show...they gave the prospects our address...and to our surprise two strangers walked into our backyard without even ringing the doorbell. I do not fault the couple but Ernest and Sons for handling this entire job so unprofessionally.If you still choose to use this merchant ...good luck and get in writing how damaged will be handled.

"Picasso Construction is very professional,experienced and reliable team. Sergio (owner) is always consulting with you before doing the following step in the project. He was very helpful buying and picking up the materials from the store and also offering us his contractor discount (10%-20%) which saves you a lot of money in the end! My project was done on time and I'm extremely happy with the results! I recommended this team to my friends and family, and they did use them on few projects. I will definitely hire them in the future for my basement renovation project!"

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

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.
