  • Done Right Home Remodeling, Inc.

    "Done Right Home Remodeling crew recently remodeled our kitchen. What we loved about working with them was, nothing we asked was too much trouble and when I changed the plan a little, again no problem. Mark always took care of our requirements and gave our ideas into design. This just made our whole experience stress free. The service from start to finish was fantastic leading to a beautiful result. Thank you."

  • Palm Construction, Inc.

    "I decided to build a new deck and I took my time and contacted about 10 contractors too see their options. The most acceptable solution came from Palm Construction. I checked their recommendations and hired them right away. Sean and his team arrived on scheduled date. They were professional, quick, accurate, worked hard and kept working area clean. The project was finished on time and I am 100 percent satisfied with my new deck. Thanks guys! "

  • California Custom Construction

    "I hired Joe to do a tile job in my bathroom. I had a half tile shower with a seat in it, also tile around my bathtub and floor with a drain installed on the floor. The tile came out just beautiful. Also, when I was overseas, I called Joe for an emergency plumbing job under my rental. He came the same day and did the repair. I am glad to have someone to call and trust the job will be done correctly and fairly."

  • Kanupriya Arora

    "Excellent end to end construction firm. They helped us with Design & Construction. We had a complex project that required restructuring, redesign of 4 bathrooms, living room & kitchen. Their team not only completed all the work in time but also within budget. Their team created exceptional 3D designs for me and my wife before permitting and construction was even started. We are so happy with the final outcome. I would say if you are looking premium craftsmanship and detailed finishes, hire this company. If you are looking to do work on budget then maybe look elsewhere. I would give them extra points for design work, professionalism, clear communication & clear Accounting. Best contractor in town!!

  • Rhino Builders, Inc.

    "Just finished a room addition with Rhino Builders. All the process went very smoothly from start to finish. Shay came to our house and gave us a detailed estimate to do everything including plans, permits and design. We had a good connection with him and liked the company. All the workers were very nice and on time, they did a great job and completed the job earlier than we expected. Will definitely recommend Shay and his team for these type of jobs, he knows what heâ s doing. "

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?
