General Contractor in Orange Beach, AL

The scope of work, the price and how it is paid in stages, the schedule, who buys materials, how changes are priced, who pulls permits, and the warranty. Do not pay for work that has not been done.

It depends on the state, and sometimes the city. Where a licence is required, ask for the number and check it with the licensing board before work starts. On Pros Around, "Licence verified" means we matched the number to the board's record on the date shown. We do not check insurance.

A general contractor manages a whole project and hires the trades, such as plumbers and electricians, that it needs. A trade contractor does one kind of work. Ask who will be on your site and who is responsible for them.

Ask for recent jobs like yours, and for people you can contact. Ask those people whether the job was finished on time, on budget, and whether the site was kept tidy.

The price depends on the size and difficulty of the job. Some pros publish a starting price on their listing. Ask two or three for a written quote that says what is included, and compare the scope as well as the price.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.
