Susan P. says, "If you're looking to get any kind plumbing are house leveling done. I have the perfect company for you to call. My house was very unlevel. And I needed some major plumbing done underneath the house where pipes had broken in a few places. I got estimates from 32,000. 00 just for the leveling, and up to 18,000.00 in plumbing. I didn't want to go with the highest and I didn't want to go with the lowest. There was five different companies I got quotes from. I had to decide on which one to trust to do a good job and do what they say. It was very stressful. They all promised to do a good job and I had guarantees and all the stuff that goes with it. Well, I eventually went with a company called UPI. (University Property Investments) The owners name is JR. To tell you the truth I think I picked the best of all five companies. JR is a very friendly, nice sweet guy. He always went up and above what he really needed to do for me. Anything | wanted/ needed he made sure it happened after and during the job. There was some things that the guys kinda messed up from digging and moving plants and other things around but no problem, cause Jack made sure it was all put back exactly the way it was when they got here. To be honest, I was really dreading all of this. Because I had just got all kinds of yardwork around my house done with my flowerbeds and all and had new mulch just put in. Let me tell you by the time all those guys left, you could not tell they have ever been here. They did a beautiful job putting everything back the way it was. I was having water pressure problems after the plumbers had been here, but all I had to do was call JR and he saw to it that it was all taken care of without any problems whatsoever. I mean, I could go on and on about this company and all the wonderful things that JR did for me without any complaints or charging me anything extra and by the way, he even took money off for some things just to ease my mind. I ended up paying less for both plumbing and leveling then I would have just for leveling if I had gone with any of the other four companies. UPI is one of the best companies I've ever had to deal with. If anything around my house goes wrong again they definitely will be my number one company to call. In a nutshell, it was a very nice experience to go through with this company. No problems whatsoever. Everyone have a wonderful day. And remember to call UPI for all your house problems." 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.
