Why do I need a general contractor in Staten Island?
You're pretty handy, so you hadn't planned on hiring a general contractor. Why bother? As general contractors, we know the codes and when and what permits will need to be pulled. We also understand what building inspectors require and can ensure you aren't missing necessary inspections along the way. There is information that is referenced in this article, on a general contractors schedule and how they manage the entire job from beginning to end, including all problem resolution.

Because we work with subcontractors on a repeat basis, we know the subs that are the most reliable and when to plan for them to come in and perform their work. We also schedule the subs in the right sequence for the most efficient completion of the job, taking into consideration inspection requirements before other work can move forward.
We know the going rates for the subcontractor's work and can protect you from overpaying. We also can steer you to the most reliable and cost-effective suppliers for the materials to be used in your home. We are insured and stand behind our work. If there is a problem with a subcontractor, we will work with that sub to resolve the issue for you. We want your future business and your positive feedback. |

How do I select a Staten Island general contractor?
- Make a plan
- Choose from referrals
- Check our references
- Compare bids
|
Make a plan - Once you conclude you are going to bring in a Staten Island general contractor for your project, make sure you are clear on what you want the project to include.
Plan in detail how you want your project to look. A clear plan will allow us to see what you want and helps us bring up any questions or concerns upfront. It will also let us provide you with the most accurate pricing and make it easier for you to compare bids. |
|
Choose from referrals - Reach out to everyone you know – family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances - that have had a home or building renovations or remodeling work done. Good Staten Island general contractors generate positive feedback and recommendations. And when people are not happy, they will share that with you as well. It allows you to narrow down to your top 4 to 6 choices.
Once you have your top options, reach out and speak with us. We will be in your home and work very closely with you in your space for some time. You want to feel comfortable that we can easily communicate with one another. |
|
Check references - Once you've spoken with the general contractors in Staten Island and further narrowed down your selection, check our online reviews, social media sites, and Better Business Bureau ratings and reviews.
Reputable Staten Island general contractors will be able and willing to provide you with insurance coverage verification. It is essential as you will need to compare this information with your homeowner's or business insurance coverage in case you need to take out any additional insurance while the work is being completed. |
|
Compare bids – Side-by-side competitive bids will give you comfort that you are comparing apples to apples when looking at pricing. We will provide a detailed price breakdown based on the information we have. If you feel like something is missing or we have not provided sufficient detail, we may not be on the same page yet.
Both the contract and bid should spell out the expectations for both parties; this includes how monies are going to be issued. There should be an alignment of expectations for the entire process. Don't make assumptions; if specific work is not in writing, don't assume that the work will be completed. |

Reputable General Contractors in Staten IslandReputable Staten Island general contractors work for you and report to you. While we will do all the heavy lifting for you – both literally and figuratively, this is still your project. You will want to speak with us regularly to ensure we are meeting your expectations and to discuss any concerns. Feel comfortable asking what work will be subcontracted versus what work the general contractor will do.

If work is happening in your home or building and you will still be there, discuss housekeeping upfront with your Staten Island general contractor. For example, where we can park, the hours we can work, what water sources we can use, what elevators or restrooms we can use, who is disposing of any construction debris and how, and so on. In a commercial building, discuss how the work will affect other tenants as well. The more we discuss upfront, the fewer surprises will come up.
Expect there to be unexpected costs. Unexpected costs can rise from things like project changes, upgrades in materials, additions to the project, and so on. Don't hesitate to ask us for lien releases and product receipts. |
When asking your friends for referrals, make sure they know you are asking about general contractors as opposed to sub-contractors. If your neighbor loves the contractor who tiled their bathroom, that may be a tile installer; not a Staten Island general contractor.
