"Jim and Mark were both professional and helpful. Jim contacted me right away and was patient and knowledgeable figuring out exactly how we want things done and the most cost effective way of doing the project. We had a big change on our end, and he took everything in stride calmly and professionally. I really hope to get the chance to work with Jim and his team in the future! Couldn’t ask for a better contractor."

"Sabino was great to work with. He was professional and thorough when initially inspecting roof. He completed a major job with tear off of layers of asphalt and cedar shingles. He installed the new roof with quality products. Most importantly he worked well with us in a honest manner when issues arose to rebuild a chimney and replace beams on a rotting porch. His prices were very reasonable. He did a solid job cleaning up the area when finished. It is never an easy experience to have an old roof torn off and replaced, but Sabino and his workers made the experience positive."

"

To begin with Randy was the only contractor to arrive on time for his initial estimate. Right from the start he was very thorough. He took the time to get to know my wife and I along with the type of job we wanted, what styles we were interested in and how we anticipated it all coming together. My wife is the home remodeling expert in the family in terms of decorating, styles, color and finish coordination. Randy clicked with her from the start and added several features that really enhanced the project.

When he presented his estimate a week later (and right on time), he described the process, documented all the work in the contract and guaranteed the price with no add-ons. (barring any major changes on our part of course). Four weeks later he came through. His crew and partner contractors arrived on time. All of them were very thorough, polite, clean and demonstrated an extraordinary attention to detail and craftsmanship. Randy was on site regularly to check on progress and constantly kept in touch with us to assure our satisfaction. He accommodated us with a few changes along the way and promptly took care of any problems that arose during construction and never added a penny to the price.

I wanted a real contractor that could and would coordinate the entire project including all the planning, labor scheduling and supply ordering. Randy delivered on all of those. Don't let our price scare you away from him. My wife has expensive taste and much of that cost is related to the high end materials and cabinetry we picked out. I think Randy's labor and supply costs were reasonable and given the superior craftsmanship and service that we received, it was money well spent. A kitchen can be a very emotional and inconvenient remodel project to undertake. I cannot imagine any contractor accommodating us as well as Randy.

We cannot say enough good things about the service we received and we most certainly recommend him for any home remodeling, construction or repair needs. In fact, we are already committed to using him for a bathroom remodel and all our future home improvements.

"E & M Total Homes is an up and coming company that installed a stamped patio for us. Sean was on top of direct communication with me regarding this project. His right hand, Kyle was very knowledgeable about his skill. I'd highly recommend this company for anyone who is looking to install a stamped patio."

FAQs for contractor service projects in Derby, NY

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.
