"Very disappointed with our deck remodel. Travis and his team gave a competitively priced quote but the final product was abysmally poor. Lots of hacks and poor fit and finish. Travis left and had subs finish our job resulting in very poor quality. Furthermore during demolition the team broke threw our walls and have caused leaks from our deck. Would strongly advise against hiring this company. No other services were offered to complete the job. The owner made multiple commitments that were not honored to come and fix the issues present. I even offered to pay for new materials. None of the issues pictured or discussed are due to "Rejected Suggestions to save on cost". The owner told me that demo took longer than expected and thus the project went way over budget. Yes, this is a deck from two seasons ago. I've waited to share this and give the owner plenty of opportunities to fix this issue. "Our hope is that this will prevent such quality issues moving forward" is a great sentiment, however these quality issues were easily remediable at time of completion and the multiple opportunities offered since."

Contractor services FAQs
Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.
General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:
Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew
Provide realistic cost estimates
Develop construction timelines
Ensure deadlines are met
Acquire permits as needed
Purchase supplies and materials
Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:
Which types of insurance do you carry?
Can you provide a list of references?
What is the expected timeline for this project?
How will my project be supervised?
Will you hire subcontractors for the job?
What is the best way to communicate changes?
Will you obtain all of the required building permits?
While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
