"If you need work done promptly, with high quality, and for a fair price, HIRE COASTAL C&C!! From start to finish Claudio and his team exceeded my expectations. Claudio asked excellent questions while visiting to prepare a quote, and made a handful of recommendations that ended up saving time and money and producing a better finished product. I received the quote just a day or two later, and it was the only quote out of five different contractors that immediately seemed like a fair price for the work. The whole team; Claudio, Dan, Bruno, and Jameson, were respectful, diligent, tidy, and clearly experienced. They were able to work independently and make good decisions in real time to keep the work moving without delay. As a result, they knocked out in a week what could easily have taken two or more. Communication was very easy. Claudio responded immediately over text, and at several points Claudio or one of the team approached me to request my preference on materials and other choices. I made several comments during the work, for example asking if there was a way to fill in some existing gaps between siding planks, and without hesitation they just took care of it. They even fixed or improved at no extra cost a few existing items that obviously needed doing, but I wasn’t going to ask them to do, just because they had the tools and were already there. I requested a few larger extra items while the work was ongoing, and Claudio offered the same very reasonable pricing for the changes and fit them in with no hassle at all. At the end of the project, the work all looks great, and I couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Coastal Counters and Cabinets to anyone, and without a doubt I would call them first with any future project. And don’t let the name fool you, they can do framing, painting, light electrical, doors/windows, concrete, and I’m sure much more! These guys are the best!"

""Outstanding Kitchen Transformation!" We recently had our kitchen refaced by Jesse Dugan, Kitchen Tune-Up and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Jesse and Dave were professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. Jesse took the time to understand our project and provided expert guidance on design options. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and our kitchen looks brand new! The attention to detail in every corner is impressive, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Our space is now modern, fresh, and it's truly a joy to cook and entertain in. Not only did they complete the project on time, but they also made sure the area was clean and tidy each day. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and we always felt confident in their ability to deliver. We highly recommend Jesse Dugan, Kitchen Tune-Up for anyone looking to reface their kitchen."

"After performing demo workout, our previous contractor took our $$ and ran. Because of this, we were too spooked to hire another “con”tracor and decided to try a service with a good reputation and warranty. I can not recommend ACE more highly. Our “handyman" Juan was skilled and super knowledgable with the HUGE project he was thrown into. He was on time, efficient and just a joy to deal with! By himself, Juan cleaned up the prior demo area, properly sealed the shower, installed a new shower bench/curbs and repaired the wall…he did everything but the painting, which we took care of. What a worker! Thank you so much Juan and ACE Handyman Services. We will certainly be working with you again!"

Stair railing installation services FAQs

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.
