Locally owned company, with owners that have over 30 years of experience in the industry. Specializes in doors, windows, siding, and roofing. Products sold by Markin Co are environmentally friendly and innovative.
"Our sliding door was ordered and installed on time with appropriate correspondence. The installers were nice but attempted to leave the job without ensuring that the door was squared and closed completely. When I pointed this out to them in the driveway, they came back and addressed the issue. Later in the evening I noticed that an weather seal inside the door was clearly damaged (visible by rips and tears in a black seal showing white insulation beneath) in a way not possible by use. I called the company on numerous occasions, sent numerous emails with photos of the issue starting on the day of installation and now, four months later, I have only received follow-up calls from the company when they're canceling an appointment to repair the issue and have never received a follow-up call on how they will address the issue. The door and installation was paid in cash. I would seriously reconsider using Markin for any large job as this was just one door and I've been waiting four months now."

We are a family owned business focusing on interior and exterior painting and finished carpentry services to fit all of your needs. Paying sharp attention to detail we are able to deliver on ALL customer needs and desires for each individual project.
"This started off as a 2-part job. One part needed to wait in a bathroom until a shower unit could be installed in the basement bathroom. The first part was to drywall a missing ceiling and wall in a kitchen. They completed this work. There are some sunken screw heads that need a second coat of mut still. The wall is fine in the kitchen. They drywalled around the toilet area in a main floor bathroom but did not fill in the hole from an old medicine cabinet. The entire main floor bathroom was to be completed it's not. In the basement there was a half wall that was to be drywalled. It's completed and finished. In the basement bathroom the quote says they will used green board they did not. We asked them not to drywall the outside wall of the bathroom because it needed to still be insulated and they drywalled half of this wall. We had given them a lock box to the home and before we could even see what was completed at the home Mario called and demanded full payment even though only half the work was completed. I did pay him the full amount at that time trusting that they would be back to complete the rest of the work. When we did get a chance to see the home a few days later we let Kevin the sales guy know that they used the wrong drywall in the bathroom and drywalled half of a wall that we asked them not to. We removed the drywall on this wall so that the insulation could be installed. The shower was installed and we scheduled them to return to complete the remainder of the drywall. Mario the owner came back to view the job and was very disrespectful and aggressive with my partner. He was very difficult and would not listen to what needed to be accomplished still at the home. It was clear he had no interest in completing the work since had been paid. My partner didn’t feel safe in the home with Mario's aggressive behavior. When he called me to discuss he continued he further aggressive language and told me to “Suck His Dick” which is a clear reflection of his character."

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.
