What should I expect from a general contractor?

All the details of the work to be performed by a general contractor should be spelled out in a written contract. This defined the roles and responsibilities of the contractor as well as the homeowner. The contractor takes care of all the municipal permits and approvals as per the job. A general contractor will manage and schedule everyone that will be working in your home including plumbers, electricians, framers, drywallers, painters and others. They will provide a schedule for the project and are responsible to meet the deadlines. A general contractor must ensure the safety of both its workers and the homeowners.
