"**CAUTION** Be careful when the operators of their big trucks are anywhere near your vehicles. One of their operators drives his truck home in the evenings. Last month he backed into the drivers side of my son's car - hitting it hard enough into the curb to bend the rear sway bar of the opposite side - but he insists he didn't feel anything. I have given this person the benefit of trying to fix it (keeping it away from his employer/insurance and driving record) but he continues to flake out. I have now contacted Power Lifts home base in Texas and they are wanting me to deal directly with the kid who hit my son's car to begin with --- how does any of that make sense? No - that time has expired as I've been too nice and beyond patient up to this point as the car is non-driveable. When you employ someone and they drive your company's vehicles you now become reliable for their actions and damages. It definitely would make me hesitant to ever use a company like this who passes the buck to their employees."

Major home repairs (general contractor) FAQs

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.

Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.

General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.

When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
