Mike J. says, "If you’re looking for a company that can get everything outside of your home taken care of that’s also reliable and can get it done in no time this is most definitely the company to hire. They really went above and beyond for me. I hired a company last year to take out old sod in my backyard because it was dying and lay new sod and they did a terrible job. I paid so much money to the last company just for the new sod they laid to turn out like the old one they took out. Someone knocked on my door and it was someone from this company letting me know they were in the area working and she was passing out their business cards. A week later I called the number on the card and the lady I spoke with send someone out right away to assist me. The gentleman who showed up was very nice and helpful not like the last company. He explained what went wrong and ensured me that they could fix it and provided me with an estimate. I told him I’ll give it some thought and call them back. A month went by and I seen that the dead grass was spreading so I gave them a call and told them I would like to hire them to fix the dead sod for me. The lady I spoke with on the phone sent out a crew with everything that was needed to get the jobsite done that very same day I called them. This team got it done in no time. It’s been a couple months now and my grass is greener than never before. They brought my vision for my backyard to life. You really can’t go wrong with this company. Thank you thank you thank you all so very much. Expect a call from me in the future for more business." Read more

Austin S. says, "“Building a home and choosing the right builder is never easy, even under the best circumstances. My wife and I entered the building process right after she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer. The stress in our lives could not have been higher. However, after talking with Lane, we decided we wanted to move forward and build our dream home. Now that our home is complete, we are able to look back and give anyone our honest opinion of Lane Myers and his team. Lane’s team, including his foreman Tyler, were wise to always set expectations for us, especially about timelines, and the cost of building. They were respectful of our budget, and were always upfront with us when we choose to go over budget to add additional items… There were never surprises that we didn’t know about. When unforeseen challenges arose, they were quick to find the proper solution, and our house turned out better than we could have imagined! When building, you enter a relationship with a team of people that will include almost daily interaction. Depending on the build time, you could be involved for 6-18 months… So you better hope you like them. We heard horror stories from friends about different builders, and by the time their home was complete they hated their builder. We not only enjoyed the Lane Myers team, but his subcontractors were kind and respectful… Which isn’t always the case in the building world. We are able to say that our relationship with Lane, Tyler, and his office manager Brooke ended better than when we started. I told Lane that since we have finished our home, we have been missing our daily interaction. They didn’t treat us like clients, they treated us like family- and we highly recommend Lane Myers Construction to anyone!” " Read more

Your General Contracting questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

Mike J.
All I can say is WOW! I am beyond shocked at how amazing, wonderful, hard working, respectful, talented, and very trustworthy this crew is. Plus so much more. I mean I could go on and on about how awesome they truly are. So, my wife and I just bought a house that came with a huge front and back yard that needed a lot of maintenance and fixing up! We were very stressed out because we didn’t know where to start or who we could trust to hire to get the job done because we have been ripped off before by contractors. One day on our way home we seen this crew doing a huge project for our neighbors and what an amazing outcome of their work after they were finished. We were not only surprised by what a great job they did but also by how fast they got this huge project done. My wife and I invited our neighbors over for dinner and all they talked about was how amazing this company is so we asked them for this companies information so we can contact them as well. Although we were stressed out and very nervous about everything my wife told me to reach out to this company. I am so very happy she did because when I did reach out they send someone out right away to go over everything we needed done. My wife and I thought we were going to hire different companies to get certain stuff done that we needed done but we did not have to because this company does EVERYTHING. That is what really caught my attention. I thought my neighbors was bluffing when he said this company could do it all but it’s the truth. After I went over everything we needed done with Tap (the very nice expert they send out), we sat down and he explained everything step by step of what all they were going to be doing and what all is needed to get the job done if we were to hire them. This also caught my attention because we have had our fair shares of hiring contractors and none of them would explain what needed to be done or why their bid was so high or what they were going to be doing or needing, they would just work and never communicate. After we went over everything Tap added up the cost of everything and provided me with an estimate of how much everything would be. The bid Tap provided me was around what my wife and I were guessing and after Tap sat me down and explained everything and what cost what and he even showed us proof online. Also I know this is rare but when I am looking for a bid or estimate I always go with who has the highest bid, stands out, and knows more about the job and what’s needed to be done. Take it from someone who owns a real estate company that has bought many homes and hired many contractors. This is something I wish I would’ve known before but now that I do I thought I would share this. Back then when I was trying to save as much money as I could I would hire the company with the lowest bid and let me tell you nothing good comes of it. Like they say you get what you pay for. Every contractor with the lowest bid I have hired came with so much problem, if not right away the problem will eventually come. Either the work they did causes more damage or they take years to finish the job or something worst. It’s really not worth it. Anyways, my wife and I hired Tap and his crew. They got to working right away like literally the same day. Tap met with me in the morning to go over everything we signed the contract and Tap said his crew is on the way to start working. My wife and I were very shocked! Nonetheless, this company showed up, got straight to work, and didn’t waste no time playing around. They got everything done within a matter of a couple days! We still have so much more to do that we have already hired this company to do but when my wife and I get back from our vacation. I know if we didn’t have to go on a family vacation trip Tap and his crew would get it all done in no time. I highly recommend this company. My wife and I have came to the conclusion that we will never ever hire no one else only Tap and his amazing crew. We also recommend this company to anyone looking for any work to be done as far as in construction tree service or landscaping. We have witnessed this company do it all with our neighbors project and our own project. We are beyond grateful and thankful for this company. There’s so much more wonderful things my wife and I can say it’s endless. Again, thank you all so very much and we look forward to seeing you guys again real soon! Keep up the amazing awesome wonderful hard work!

“Lane Myers Constructions built our home and have been nothing less than fabulous. I got exactly what I wanted and their team is the best. They let me build the custom home that I wanted, but they steered me in the best direction when something was questionable. There is not a day that goes by that I wish I would have done something different. They have been awesome about coming back for warranty work. There is a reason that they have the reputation of being the best, they really are the best builder!”
