Raymundo repaired the bathroom fan drywall and touched up cracks in the paint and drywall. Each spot looks so much better now, as if the cracks were never there.

General Contractor FAQs
Is a contractor the same as a general contractor?
No, a contractor and a general contractor are not the same. A general contractor (GC) oversees the entire project - coordinating specialists, handling permits, and managing scheduling. A contractor (or subcontractor) is brought in for a specific trade such as plumbing, electrical, or concrete. The GC holds the main contract and manages others working under them.
What are red flags when hiring a contractor?
The biggest red flags when hiring a contractor include:
- Demanding cash-only payments
- Asking for large upfront deposits (over 10-30%)
- Having no physical office or license
- Providing vague, low-ball bids
- High-pressure sales tactics
These warning signs often signal potential fraud, poor workmanship, or future lien risks on your property.
What do most general contractors charge?
General contractors in Bellevue typically charge a markup of 10% to 20% of the total project cost. For smaller jobs, most contractors charge an hourly rate of $50 to $150 depending on the trade.
Actual cost depends on project size, scope, and how many trades are involved. The best way to get a real number is an on-site consultation with a written estimate.
Is it cheaper to hire a handyman or a contractor?
For small single-trade tasks, a handyman is usually cheaper. For anything involving permits, multiple trades, or structural work, a licensed general contractor is the better investment. Handymen typically cannot pull permits or guarantee code compliance, which can create liability and resale problems down the road.
