Hiring general contractors & remodeling pros in Des Moines, IA

General contractors run building projects from start to finish: they price the job, pull the permits, schedule the trades, buy the materials and answer for the result. Remodelers are general contractors who specialise in changing a house that already exists - kitchens, bathrooms, additions and whole-home renovations.

Before you hire

  • A contractor licence where your state or county requires one, and that it is current for the type of work.
  • General liability insurance, and workers' compensation if they have employees - ask for the certificates, not just a yes.
  • A written scope that names materials, allowances and what is excluded, not just a total.
  • Who pulls the permits. It should be them.
  • A payment schedule tied to finished stages of work, rather than a large sum up front.
