"I can’t say enough good things about this company. My kitchen needed to be completely replaced from a pipe leak. Josh and his team went above and beyond. They got the job done fast also. This was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve had to live through but because of Josh and his team it was way less stressful. If you’re looking to get anything done to your home these are the guys to do it. The best thing about them was how nice of people they were. Also they won’t rip you off there prices are more than fair and the work they do I can’t say enough good things about how they did. Please anyone who reads this don’t waste your time hiring any other company these guys will take care of your home and also make you feel way less stressful about the experiences you maybe going through. Thank you so much for everything. You guys are truly a blessing. I will never pick another company to work on my home because I know no one will do a better job than Josh and his team."

"Our new front entrance steps and deck are fabulous! I’m so happy that I saw Anthony McCann’s truck while they were building entrance steps at another property in the neighborhood. Anthony and his team (Dino and Johnny) are expertly skilled as well as punctual, hard-working, and gracious. McCann Home Improvements has my highest recommendation and I look forward to working with them on future projects."

"Doug and his crew worked hard and completed a challenging roof replacement within the time I expected. Of particular note was that we had a party within a few weeks of their start date. They worked late into the evening on several days to be sure that the work was done and the yard was cleaned up in time. I highly recommend Furko Construction. Also, with all the heavy rains we've had since the work was done, there have been no leaks or reasons for call-backs."

"I hired him to do a pretty significant remodel on a duplex investment property. The building was old and had a lot of subpar work done by the previous owner that had to be fixed. He worked with my budget and stood by his work as he actually fixed a leak in the roof 2 months after the work had been completed. Anthony was a great partner as he told me exactly what to expected and helped me save money where possible. His knowledge of the investment/rental perspective helped me reach my goals with the duplex. I plan to buy again and will definitely be using Anthony and team for any work needed."

"The owners (Chris and Cal) did an excellent job on our remodeled project. They were personally involved with the project and worked directly with us during the entire planning and implementation of the work. They were true craftsmen. We wanted a contractor who could do the entire project and C&C fit the bill. They performed the drywall, flooring, windows, painting, electrical, and structural part of the job. We would highly recommend them ."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include building a new home or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.

Depending on your structure, you may not need planning permission. Major excavation, anything that changes the external appearance of your home, or any construction that will affect your neighbors will need planning permission. However, no planning permission is required if you’re just converting an existing space into a root cellar.
