"This was a major remodel project with complete redo of dining room, two living areas, master bedroom and bath (most of the first floor of our two story home). After attempting to get several bids for the work we chose Gill Construction for their timely response, reasonable prices and highly personal approach. We had used them for an addition to our home 10 years ago and had remembered what a positive experience we had then. From the very first meeting with Jerry and Mickey we were impressed with their professionalism, creativity and obvious interest in our project. We were especially pleased when the subcontractors were brought in during the estimate process which gave me great comfort in the validity of the bid. Jerry came back 3 times to make sure all areas were covered and then provided a detailed quote. (I will say that the other companies I tried were slow in getting back or very high in their quote. ) Our project started on the date chosen and we also agreed to a completion date i(as we all know, these jobs can often drag on.... more on that later). From the very first day, the Gill crew showed up on time and worked diligently. There was a steady flow of workers and I never had to call and ask where somebody was or if someone was going to show up. There had obviously been a focused effort on coordinating each step of the work. I was in constant communication with Mickey throughout the job and cannot say enough about how well he keep me informed and updated on what to expect. Every time he said someone would be there, they were!! This was such a nice part of the experience. We have done other projects with other companies and I always seemed to be calling to ask why people were not showing up. Not so with Gill! And not only do they show up...the subs are all polite, professional and incredibly skilled craftsman! Even when we made some changes along the way (and we made several!), they were quick to accommodate and made sure we were happy with every choice and decision. They also did an amazing job keeping up with daily clean up and keeping the house livable for us. And finally, everything was completed a full week ahead of schedule!!! That is unheard of in my experience! Though I know they had other projects going, we never felt like we were not getting their full attention. And we never felt like they were rushing through just to meet a deadline. We could not be more proud of the finished product or more impressed with Gill Construction! We truly have a transformed home with beautiful, high quality, unique ,custom features that absolutely exceeded our expectations. Jerry and Mickey were involved every step of the way and have a true commitment to customer satisfaction. There is no question where we will turn for any future home projects. (I won't waste my time trying to get bids from any others.) If you are looking for a reputable, trustworthy, and price competitive contractor, do yourself a favor and give them a call! These guys will do it right! I would definitely add a few +++ to that overall A rating!!"

"Mr. Pena has been far more responsive that I've experienced with other contractors in Lubbock. His person installed the deck boards and there were a few that were less than ideal. I pointed them out and he agreed and fixed them within 24 hours. He is very responsive, always has ideas to improve the project and as a result it feels more like a partnership that a contractor relationship.As a result of his quality we've moved from a small job to over $15K of work."

"I have had over 30 contractors at my home as it has been basically rebuilt. This company has been the most professional i have dealt with. Showed up on time, communicated progress, cleaned up at the end of each day COMPLETELY, came with all necessary tools and supplies.
Along the width of the house, all of the walls were removed from the floor to aprox 2 feet. Lower portion of studs and base plates removed, walls sealed with amazing product, studs, base plate and walls replaced (not the sheetrock). All lower level floors sealed.
We have had over 5" of rain in the last 24 hours. This is the first time since i have owned this house that the floors have not flooded when we have saturated soil and heavy rain.
Incredible product, excellent company. i highly recommend both.

"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

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.
