"Albert and his team were incredible. From the moment I found his company online until the final walkthrough everything about the project was smooth sailing. He is extremely professional, helpful and communicative. All elements of the remodel were planned in the contract and were 100% on budget. There were no unexpected cost additions at any point. Any speed-bumps were communicated at the moment they arose and were dealt with immediately and to both of our satisfaction. Aside from his impeccable management of the project, the level of artistry and precision of everything installed was incredible. I have never met a group of people so meticulous and precise. All tile placements were planned out together and confirmed. When I was unable to be there in person, Albert and his project manager sent over pictures confirming all of the details. They turned a NYC "unleveled" and outdated bathroom into a perfectly leveled, designed and functional bathroom. The project remained on-schedule and was completed in the time I anticipated. When the project was complete all debris and garbage were removed and it was like as if they were never there! I would 1000% work with Albert again and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!"

FAQs for contractor service projects in Long Island City, 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.
