"Matt installed a new front door on my house and new flooring throughout my living areas. I have been contacted by neighbors asking who did my front door, and have received several compliments on the flooring. I know it was a difficult pattern to work with, but you cannot find a single flaw - the installation was perfect and I could not be happier! I will be using Finish Works for all my renovation and repair needs in the future and am already on the schedule for my bathroom. Matt even rescued me when I tried to replace a thermostat with a programmable one and got stuck. Recommend 100%!!"

"Lakeside general contracting, is without a doubt absolutely the best Contractor I’ve ever worked with. Mike Smith started the job when he said he would and finished the job when he said he would ….he was beyond meticulous. He suggested many quality improvements and cost reduction Solutions. In life you get what you pay for,but most of the times a whole lot less. He made the remodeling of two bathrooms exceptionally easy for me 1500 miles away. I can’t say enough good things in the small Paragraph without sounding like it’s an ad. In my business career I moved a lot and built many homes and remodeled many others and I have never worked with a better contractor. I’m attaching two videos so you can see his work. These are two bathrooms remodeled in a large Victorian home built in the late 80s"

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.
