Services General Contractors Offer

General residential contractors offer a variety of services, including:

• New home construction and home additions

• Home restoration, remodeling and renovation

• Plumbing, HVAC and electrical work

• Decks, patios and porches

• Painting and flooring

• Concrete work

• Window and door installation/replacement

Some may specialize in new builds, while others work exclusively on interior remodels.

When planning several home projects or large-scale projects, working with a general contractor makes sense. The contractor provides material, labor, equipment and essential services. They can also subcontract some projects when they don’t have the right permits or experience to execute them.

Essentially, on large or complicated projects, a general contractor acts as a construction manager and coordinates the whole process.

Hiring a general contractor is different from hiring a handyman. Handymen are only qualified for general repair and maintenance needs.
