"First off, Alex is a good guy, very friendly, and has decent communication. Unfortunately for our garage remodel project, he overestimated his skill level and hired inexperienced subs. We hired Castillo as a GC for our project, and after months of delays, backsteps, and redos, when we finally had to let him go from the job. We ended up having to redo 90% of the work with a new contractor."

"I recently hired Koa Construction to fix the exterior wall surrounding our gas fireplace that had some damage and dry-rot and we couldn't be happier with the results! Tony is professional, friendly and delivers high-quality work at a fair cost. He talks you through the process and shares all options so you can choose the best one for you. The communication and transparency throughout the project already separate Tony from others but his work speaks for itself. I highly recommend Koa Construction to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service. We look forward to working with Tony again this Spring to build us a semi-covered pergola over our hot tub."

FAQs for contractor service projects in Aloha, OR

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.
