Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about hiring a general contractor in California

How much does a general contractor typically charge?

General contractor costs in California typically range from 10-20% of the total project cost for project management and coordination. For smaller projects, contractors may charge hourly rates between $50-$150 per hour. Larger renovation projects often use a percentage-based fee structure. The exact cost depends on project complexity, timeline, and scope of work.

At West Covina General Contractor, we provide transparent, upfront pricing with detailed estimates that break down all costs, so you know exactly what you're paying for with no hidden fees or surprises.

What is the hourly rate for a general contractor in California?

In California, general contractors typically charge between $50-$150 per hour, with the average being around $75-$100 per hour. Rates vary based on location, experience, and project complexity. In Los Angeles County, including West Covina, rates tend to be on the higher end due to higher living costs and stricter building codes.

Our competitive hourly rates reflect our 15+ years of experience and expertise in California construction standards, ensuring you get professional quality work at fair prices.

Are general contractors worth it?

Yes, hiring a licensed general contractor is definitely worth it for most home improvement projects. General contractors bring expertise in project management, building codes, permit requirements, and coordination of multiple trades. They can save you time, prevent costly mistakes, ensure code compliance, and often have better access to quality materials and skilled subcontractors.

The value of a general contractor becomes especially apparent in California, where building codes are complex and permits are required for most construction work. Our experience navigating these requirements can save you significant time and potential legal issues.

When should you hire a general contractor?

You should hire a general contractor for projects that require permits, involve multiple trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), structural changes, or when you lack the time or expertise to manage the project yourself. This includes kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, room additions, major repairs, and whole-home renovations.

In California, many projects require permits and inspections. A licensed general contractor ensures your project meets all local building codes and passes required inspections, protecting your investment and ensuring safety.

What are the red flags for contractors?

Major red flags include: requesting large upfront payments (more than 10% down), door-to-door solicitation, no physical business address, lack of proper licensing and insurance, extremely low bids, pressure to sign immediately, no written contracts, and poor communication or unprofessional behavior.

Always verify a contractor's license through the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and check their insurance coverage. We proudly provide all licensing and insurance documentation upfront and maintain transparent communication throughout every project.

Is it normal for a contractor to ask for 50% down?

No, requesting 50% down payment is a major red flag. California law limits down payments to $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less, for contracts over $500. Legitimate contractors typically request minimal upfront payment and structure payments based on project milestones.

We follow California's payment regulations strictly, requiring only a small down payment to begin work, with subsequent payments tied to completed project phases. This protects both you and us while ensuring steady project progress.

Does it cost money to get a quote from a contractor?

Most reputable general contractors provide free initial consultations and basic project estimates. However, detailed architectural plans, engineering drawings, or extensive design work may involve fees. Always clarify what's included in the free estimate before scheduling a consultation.

We provide completely free, no-obligation estimates for all construction and remodeling projects. Our detailed estimates include material costs, labor, timeline, and project scope, giving you everything needed to make an informed decision.

What is a reasonable contractor fee?

A reasonable general contractor fee typically ranges from 10-20% of the total project cost, depending on project size and complexity. Smaller projects may have higher percentage fees, while larger projects often have lower percentages. The fee should reflect the value provided in project management, coordination, and expertise.

Our fees are competitive and transparent, reflecting our extensive experience and the comprehensive services we provide. We believe in fair pricing that delivers exceptional value for the quality and professionalism you receive.
