Excellent. Gary finished in half the time he had thought he would need, so he didn’t charge me as much as I had anticipated. The beds are solidly put together. He is a very nice guy and pleasant to be around.

"Gerbie and his skilled crew were fantastic to work with. They did a major remodel of master bathroom. They removed a large bathtub and a 48”x 48” window and replaced them with a large gorgeous, walk-in shower. The wall where the window used to be became a shower wall . An exterior wall was built to cover the space where They removed the awful popcorn from the ceiling and retextured and painted both ceiling and walls. The floor was retiled to match the beautiful walk- in shower. The space that once was my shower was converted to a much needed closet with shelves. My kitchen had two large ceiling boxes for LED 48” light tubes that were covered to match the rest of the ceiling. After removing the popcorn throughout the house, beautiful 5” crown molding was installed. I will hire G&G Remodeling for additional remodeling. During the remodel, I had surgery and was gone for 3 days. I felt comfortable having them work in my home for the 3 days I was gone. Thank God for honest people!"

FAQs for contractor service projects in Mico, TX

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

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.
