"Jacob, Daniel and Ricardo from S&L did an amazing job in our home. I genuinely say this from my head that we are truly grateful for the professionalism and care they have shown us, in addressing any issue that has come up. They have been so quick to respond both through communication and by work and my faith in this company and as contractors is strong. We are so happy and lucky to have had such a great company work with us in our kitchen remodel. "

"Very good people to work with. They take the time to review the construction steps with you and are open to feedback. Their crew works cleanly and are professional at all times. They are very efficient at what they do, and offer a great value for the quality of service they provide. They are very knowledgeable, and can handle any repairs or remodeling projects that you might have. Will definitely hire them again with any remodeling projects that I don’t feel comfortable doing myself. They SHOULD be your first choice when choosing a contractor."

"I was really happy with Anthony and his brother Tom. They are very professional and did exactly what they said they would do. Anthony fit me into the schedule that worked for me. I did get a couple of bids and one of them was less expensive, but the quality of the wood they wanted to use was more important to them than giving me the lowest cost. When I Reviewed the material costs, they ended up being just as competitive. I wanted it to look top-notch and it really does! Very very pleased with these guys. I would definitely use them again and have already given a couple of friends their name and number"

"Steven was great to work with. He was communicative and responsive, but most importantly he stuck to the schedule he outlined up front. We made some slight tweaks to the plan along the way and he was flexible enough to accommodate them while letting us know what the time and cost impact would be rapidly so we could make decisions on the fly. I'd definitely work with Steven and team again."

For remodeling and other large-scale home projects, hiring a general contractor can make the difference between a chaotic and stressful waste of time and a hassle-free experience. They are a "jack of all trades" who make sure a job is completed on-time and within budget. They hire and manage subcontractors, pull permits, buy materials, and handle issues related to liability and warranties.

While it's important to get quotes from at least 3 contractors before hiring anyone and to watch out for warning signs (for example, if they request the entire payment upfront), it can be equally as important to make sure they are nearby. Contractors in your area can negotiate better prices for materials and labor, can source local materials, and typically know your area's code requirements.

When you start to interview candidates, here are some questions you should ask:

  • Are you licensed and do you have general liability and workman's compensation insurance?
  • Do you have client references, industry certifications, and have there been any legal suits against your company?
  • How long have you been in business and do you guarantee your work?
  • What is the structure of the payment agreements?
  • Can you describe and compare my project to others you have completed and what challenges may arise?
