Question 1

How do I choose the right general contractor?

Accepted Answer

General contractors should be licensed, bonded, and insured in your state. Look for those with strong Google ratings and reviews on projects similar in scope to yours. Request a list of three recent references and follow up — GC quality is highly project-specific.

Question 2

What should I expect to pay for general contracting work?

Accepted Answer

General contractors typically mark up subcontractor work 10–20% and charge for project management. Kitchen remodels run $30,000–$80,000+; bathroom remodels $15,000–$40,000; room additions $150–$350 per square foot. Get three detailed written bids before selecting.

Question 3

How long does a general contracting project typically take?

Accepted Answer

Kitchen remodels typically take 4–8 weeks. Bathroom remodels take 2–4 weeks. Room additions take 2–4 months. Custom homes take 6–18 months. Timelines depend heavily on permit wait times and subcontractor availability.

Question 4

What questions should I ask before hiring a general contractor?

Accepted Answer

Ask for their license number, proof of insurance (general liability + workers' comp), who specifically does the work (subs vs. in-house crew), their permit-pulling process, payment schedule, and how they handle change orders.

Question 5

Are general contractors on this directory screened?

Accepted Answer

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ranked by real Google ratings and review volume. Confirm contractor licensing with your state board, verify insurance certificates, and check BBB complaint history independently before signing.

Question 6

What if I have a bad experience with a general contractor?

Accepted Answer

Document all issues with photos and written records. Send a formal demand letter invoking the contract terms. File with your state contractor licensing board and consider a mechanics lien if payment was made and work was not completed. Consult a construction attorney for significant disputes.
