Each General Contractor is unique and brings years of experience in various trades to the table. ProHow’s network spans most specialties so we can recommend a general contractor who has a depth of experience aligning with your project. 

General contractors are great for larger projects when you need someone to coordinate various trades (as subcontractors). For example, if you’re remodeling your kitchen you may need to demo your existing kitchen, a plumber to run new piping, an electrician to install lights and switches, a cabinet maker, a tile installer, flooring specialist, painter, and so many more specialties. A general contractor will have many vetted tradespeople on speed dial so they can provide one estimate and timeline to encompass your entire project. Less headache for you since you have a single point of contact acting as a project manager ensuring you get what you paid for.

When you receive quotes from multiple general contractors for your remodel, you’re not always comparing apples to apples since each GC has their own way of breaking down the project and associated costs. When we say “we speak contactor” it’s because our Pros are contractors. Who better to break down your kitchen remodel quote or bathroom remodel quote than the people who write these quotes and run the projects every day? We call them “Pros” for a reason, they’re the best at what they do.

Whether you’re planning to remodel your kitchen, remodel your bathroom, build an addition, or build a house from scratch, you always want to shop around and find someone you can trust. Generally, it’s a good idea to get at least three quotes from different general contractors so you can compare pricing, materials, and expertise. Many homeowners rely on word-of-mouth referrals from friends, family, and neighbors while others prefer to do their own research through online directories. Remember, many of these online directories follow a “pay to play” model, so be sure to thoroughly analyze reviews and vet each contractor instead of picking the recommended results.

As homeowners, we don’t do this every day, that’s what it’s important to get organized, do your research, and stay on top of your project. The more effort you put in upfront, the smoother your project will progress and the more involved you are throughout the project, the closer the outcome will be to your expectations.

When you’re just starting to think about a home improvement project such as remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, get organized by spending the time to scope out the ins and outs of the project to lay out the foundation of what you want to accomplish and how you’ll go about achieving it.

Then, determine which resources you’ll need to accomplish your renovation. For larger projects (or if you’re less DIY-inclined) you’ll need to hire a general contractor or a specialized tradesperson who’s mastered their craft. Spend the time to find and vet the best tradesperson for your project and make sure you have a mutual understanding of your expected level of involvement throughout the project.

Finally, stay on top of your project’s progress, quality, and budget to ensure your expectations are met. Even though you’re hiring someone to project manage, this is your home, and you are the most involved stakeholder. Keeping an eye on things during the project can save a lot of headache and potential rework down the line.
