Questions to Ask When Choosing a General Contractor

  • Are you licensed and have general liability and workman's compensation insurance? - to protect both the homeowner and workers against disaster or accident.
  • Do you have client references, industry certifications, and have there been any legal suits against your company? - to judge the quality of work and whether the GC adheres to ethical and moral practices.
  • How long have you been in business and do you guarantee your work with any warranties? - to establish the level of professionalism and what options are available if problems occur after the project is complete.
  • What is the structure of the payment agreements? - to determine what the downpayment, homeowner billing cycle, and how quickly the GC pays its' invoices to subcontractors.
  • Can you describe and compare my project to others you have completed, and what challenges may arise? - will establish insight into the GC's industry knowledge and expertise in resolving problems.

How to Avoid a Scam Getting a Quote

The worst home improvement scams can be avoided by steering clear of contractors that offer a deal that seems too good to be true - in the end, many will use subpar materials, cut corners, or simply do not complete the project as promised. If your contractor has no locally listed business number, states he has materials left over from a previous project that can be used, only accepts cash payments or asks for the entire project costs upfront, it may be best to seek out other general contractors.

Additional signs of a possible fraudulent contractor include: suggests a lender that the contractor knows, using your project as a 'demonstration model', asks the homeowner to obtain needed building permits, and offers you a discount if you refer other customers. Each of these red flags may indicate a general contractor that does not have an established set of reputable projects completed or may be avoiding contractual lawsuits by not leaving a financial paper trail.

Average Cost of Typical Projects

The average cost of a home remodeling project will depend upon the type and size of the project, professional design and/or engineering services, and material, new appliances, and system installations are required. Hiring a construction manager costs about $18,000 by himself, so budget appropriately for everything involved.

"Mr. Grady was one of the most professional, friendly, and useful contractors with whom I have ever had the pleasure to work. He exceeded my expectations in every category. This man is more than a simple plaster contractor - he is an artist who is more than fair to his customer. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to have a job done fairly, promptly, and completely."

"By far the best home contractor experience in my 25 years of living in Northern Virginia. The contract estimate was detailed and clearly organized, the work crew started on the promised date, left the worksite neat and orderly each evening, and completed the project in a timely manner within cost. The final product, a regraded walkway and reinforced front steps, came out looking fantastic. Of the many things that impressed me about the company, it was the level of customer care they displayed throughout the project that I most appreciated. I felt they were genuinely interested in earning my trust and satisfaction, which they absolutely did. I'd highly recommend Nova Metro America and plan to work with them again."

"Our contractor made everything happen quickly to get us back into our home after frozen, burst pipes made much our townhome unlivable. He found ways to make our budget go farther and the results looked surprisingly high-end. Within 40 days, in spite of snowstorms, it was 100% done. His patience and creativity went a long way toward helping us deal with a situation that was already difficult, further complicated by my husband's hip replacement surgery in the middle of the process. Did I mention that Justin Childs is also a volunteer firefighter? He knows water damage --and home repair!"

"Our 30-yr old house needed updating & expansion. From the beginning of engagement, the EHD Design Build staff demonstrated their depth of understanding the possibilities as they helped us visualize & shape the improvements. Together, we created a fabulous plan that was executed with expert craftsmanship, utilizing quality materials. Throughout the project, their genuine care & concern for our budget & our timeline was evident. EHD's signature of excellence on every level made them a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be calling them back for our next project!"

"Mr. Buron who is the owner installed hardwood flooring, did whole house painting and other home improvements. He was very prompt and very clean. He cleaned up as he went along and at the end of each day. He was polite and very professional. He takes a lot of pride in his work. One of the main things that I liked was that he worked by himself so there were not a lot of workers coming in and out of my house. He seems very trustworthy and I felt comfortable leaving him in my home while I was out. His prices are VERY, VERY REASONABLE!!!. I will be hiring him again at the end of the year for my next project."

"I would highly recommend them. I spoke to Gary and told him I had a list of things that the inspector found wrong with the house, and he created the punch list, and did all the repairs. I was extremely happy with his professionalism, response, and courtesy. He knew I was in a time crunch, and made it so that everything was done on time and on point. I would definitely recommend him to others, and I will certainly use him in my new house. "

He is attentive to detail, knowledgable, clean, honest, and does beautiful work. We have recommended him to several friends and they hired him as well. We can not recommend Brandon highly enough. "
