FAQ

What is a general contractor?

A general contractor is the primary overseer of a construction project. They are responsible for the day-to-day work, planning, and execution of the project. That includes assessments, coordination, blueprints, permit obtainment, construction, and more. To ensure the success of a project, general contractors tend to incorporate many disciplines—including design, project management, and construction—into their work.

What does a general contractor do?

A general contractor plans, manages, and performs construction on a job site. They may also have a part to play in the preliminary design stages, alongside architects and consulting engineers.

During construction, general contractors may do all work themselves, or they may delegate some to subcontractors. Here at J.W. Floors & Remodeling LLC, we prefer to take a hands-on approach to verify that the final build quality is up to the high standards for which we’re known.

How does a general contractor prepare an estimate?

General contractors use a variety of methods to prepare estimates and project bids. At J.W. Floors & Remodeling LLC, we prepare ours by working closely with the client to develop a detailed project plan and by taking stock of the costs for material, labor, permits, and other incidental expenses. We take a scrutinous approach to ensure our work stays within the client’s budget.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are. Our general contracting company is fully insured to cover potential damages, accidents, and occupational hazards. We make sure that all construction proceeds with the utmost concern for safety, taking every precaution necessary to give our clients the peace of mind they deserve. With us, you can rest easy knowing we’ll keep you safe and secure.

Remodels often require a permit, but not always. It can vary from municipality to municipality, but generally, any structural changes will require a permit. That said, we know how frustrating it can be to figure out your obligations as a property owner. If you’re not sure whether you need a permit, we’ll be happy to find that out for you and, if necessary, help you obtain one. Reach out to us to get started.

From there, we can work with you to determine the scope of the job and prepare for construction. At J.W. Floors & Remodeling LLC, we’re here to help you from the very start, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at any point in the planning process.
