While a general contractor is a less specific professional than other kinds of contractors, you should still be careful about which you choose. General contractors are responsible for the whole project, whether it’s a renovation or a custom home build. They need above-average organization and customer service skills. They also need to rely on other professionals to do the best job.

Choose a Baeumler Approved general contractor from and get peace of mind that your project is in good hands.

Home Remodeling Contractors

General contractors may be involved in small or large home remodelling projects. If you have a project that involves multiple professionals, such as electricians, plumbers, framers, and more, then it may benefit you to choose a home remodelling contractor that can oversee the work of each professional, coordinate them to reduce the time needed to complete the project, and ensure the quality of the final product.

General contractors may do much of the work themselves, and contract others for more specific or demanding parts of the job. They should either insure these subcontractors themselves or ensure that the subcontractor has their own insurance.

Construction Contractors

If you’re building your home from the ground up, it is essential to have a general contractor who will follow the project through to completion. Experienced general contractors can enrich every step of the process, from choosing a lot to adding the finishing touches. They may handle building permits for you, arrange for materials to be delivered throughout, and do much of the work of your home building themselves. They should also have contact with other professionals that they need to ensure the project is completed.

As with home remodelling contractors, general contractors in that do full builds need to handle their insurance needs carefully. They should either insure their subcontractors or confirm that each has their own insurance.
