What to Ask Before You Hire a General Contractor Near You

Here are some essential questions to ask when choosing a general contractor:

What services do you offer?

Not all contractors cover the same range of work. Some specialise in residential renovations, others in new builds, additions, or commercial projects. Within those categories, services may include kitchen or bathroom remodels, roofing, structural work, basement finishing, or project management of multiple trades.

Are you licensed and insured?

A licensed contractor ensures your project complies with provincial or municipal regulations. They should also carry liability insurance to protect your property and workers’ compensation coverage for any staff or subcontractors. Don’t hesitate to ask about their experience in similar projects.

What’s your pricing structure?

Rates vary depending on project size, complexity, and materials. Contractors may charge a fixed price for a full project, an hourly rate, or a combination.

Be sure to ask:

  • Is there a deposit or upfront fee?
  • Are change orders or additional costs accounted for?
  • Are permits and inspections included in the quote?

How do you handle project changes or issues?

Ask how they communicate about delays, design changes, or unforeseen problems. A clear process ensures you’re kept informed and decisions are made collaboratively.

Timing varies based on project size and complexity. A kitchen remodel might take 4–8 weeks, while a full home renovation could take 3–6 months.

Can I get a trial or phased work?

Some contractors allow phased projects or smaller pilot jobs, especially if you’re testing their work quality or managing budget constraints.

How do I know if permits are needed?

Contractors should advise on municipal permits required for construction, additions, or structural changes and handle submission if included in their services.
