Sophia J. says, "I like that they were very transparent and upfront with pricing and options for us. We had them take over a project that was very poorly half completed by another contractor so it was a lot of back and forth and they came for several visits even before signing a contract with us. Saul and Jennifer are always available to reach for questions and the result is stunning and completed on time faster than expected even. Will definitely recommend to family and friends" Read more

Your General Contracting questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much do local general contractors charge?

General contractors charge 10% to 20% of the total construction cost, known as "cost-plus." Some building contractors charge a flat fee based on the project but rarely charge an hourly rate. Home improvement contractors pay on your behalf for all materials, subcontractors, services, and permits.

What does a residential general contractor do?

Licensed general contractors manage and coordinate the entire building process. A general contractor estimates the job, provides the materials and tools, and hires specialized subcontractors for the construction work. Remodeling contractors can perform electrical work, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, or build a house

Why use a general building contractor?

A general contractor saves you time, resolves any problems, and ensures the construction follows code requirements. General contractors have a network of experienced, licensed, and insured subcontractors to properly build any project. Home contractors also source all the materials, tools, and permits and pay for them on your behalf.

Common projects to hire a licensed general contractor are home, bathroom, kitchen, and basement remodeling.

How do I find a good general contractor?

Start by searching our list of construction companies near you. After finding contractors in your area:

  • Get at least three estimates from building contractors to compare.
  • Ask for references and to see a portfolio of their past work.
  • Verify their insurance, worker’s compensation, and bond guarantees.
  • Call references, read their reviews, and check out their previous work on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Ask about their warranties and guarantees.
  • Ask for a full itemized contract in writing in case of a dispute.
  • Avoid making large payments upfront. Come up with a payment schedule for work completed.

What questions to ask a general contractor before hiring?

Ask these questions upfront before hiring:

  • How long have you been a general contractor?
  • How many similar projects have you built?
  • Can you provide me with a list of references?
  • Can I see your portfolio?
  • Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
  • Have there been any lawsuits against your company?
  • How do you handle damages that happen on the job?
  • Who's the project manager?
  • What qualities do you look for in subcontractors?
  • What hours do you and your crew work?
  • How long will the project take?
  • What permits do I need, and will you obtain them?
  • What does your warranty policy include?
  • Can you provide me a written estimate or contract with a breakdown of all costs?
  • What is the structure of the payment agreements?
  • Do you offer in-house financing?
  • What do I need to provide to get started?

Do general contractors need insurance?

A general contractor assumes responsibility for the project and should be licensed and insured. Ask for a potential contractor's license number and proof of insurance before hiring. Ask your local building department for licensing requirements, then verify the licensing on the state's licensing board website.

I am going to start with Stacy and her great customer service. It was the best home improvement experience I’ve had. American remodeled my entire kitchen from cabinets to countertops to flooring. I absolutely love my new kitchen and I’m so glad I chose American out of three other contractors. Thank you guys.

Cameron Marcarelli did the design and was the general contractor for the complete makeover of our old and drab house. Cameron has the gift of being able to visualize a total transformation of a space where we might only see an upgrade of what is already there. He knows what will work, and advises on materials and other aspects of a home remodel while respecting our personal taste and preferences. Our house is beautiful now. It looks like a completely different house. I never thought our house had the potential to be so amazing without completely tearing it down and starting over. Cameron is also incredible to work with. He supervises every aspect of the job, checks in just about every day to make sure all of the work is up to his standards and up to code, and if there is something that's not done properly, he deals with it. This was very helpful because I want the job to be done perfectly but I both don't know if some of the work is done properly, or I can see a problem but it is awkward to nag the workers if I'm not happy with how it turned out. He is also expert at dealing with the city of Calabasas, which has been a real headache in the past. I completely trust Cameron and his judgment and honesty. I am thankful we found him and recommend him and Marcarelli Design with no reservations.
