What does a general contractor actually do?+
Holds the contract for the whole project and stays accountable for it: pulls the permits in the company's name, hires and schedules every trade, coordinates inspections, manages the budget and change orders, and answers for the finished result. You deal with one person instead of five.
When should I hire a general contractor instead of individual trades?+
Whenever the work crosses trades or needs a permit. A single room repaint does not need one. A kitchen, a bathroom, an addition, or anything that opens a wall does — because the cost of getting the sequence wrong is far higher than the coordination fee.
