Questions people ask before they commit
Homeowners and business owners often want to know how general contracting differs from hiring individual trades, what happens if timelines shift, and who handles permits. These questions help clarify what you are responsible for and what gets managed for you.
What does a general contractor actually do during construction?
Your general contractor schedules all subcontractors, orders materials, pulls permits, and coordinates inspections. You deal with one person instead of managing electricians, plumbers, and framers separately.
How long does a typical residential project take?
Timelines depend on scope and permitting, but a room addition usually takes six to ten weeks from permit approval to final inspection. Weather and material availability can shift schedules by a few days.
What happens if the project uncovers structural issues?
You receive a written change order with photos and a cost estimate before any additional work begins. Thomas Contracting & Roofing documents the issue and provides options for repair or workaround.
Who is responsible for securing building permits?
Thomas Contracting & Roofing handles permit applications, plan submissions, and scheduling inspections with local building departments. You sign the applications as the property owner.
Can you work on both residential and commercial properties?
