Hiring a General Contractor: What to Know Before You Sign

A general contractor is a project manager who hires subcontractors, pulls permits, schedules inspections, and takes responsibility for the finished result. You are buying someone to own the problems.

What General Contractors Actually Do

  • Project management: Scope, subcontractor hiring, scheduling, permits, inspections.
  • Renovations: Kitchen, bath, additions, whole-house remodels.
  • New construction: Ground-up builds from foundation to finish.

What General Contractors Cost in 2026

  • Fee: Typically 10 to 20 percent of total project cost.
  • Kitchen remodel: $25,000 to $80,000 for a full renovation.
  • Home addition: $150 to $350 per square foot all-in.

How to Vet a General Contractor

Verify the state GC license and confirm the classification covers your project type. Ask for three references from the last 12 months and visit one in person. Demand a detailed written contract: scope line by line, materials by brand, payment tied to milestones, change-order process, and warranty. Collect lien waivers with each payment.

Red Flags

  • More than 10 percent down or large upfront payment
  • No written contract
  • Unwilling to provide references or insurance certificates
  • Wants to skip permits to save time
