Mark L. says, "John is a machine. He installed all the flooring and brand new baseboard for my 1100 ft² condo downtown in less than 2 days. 21st came to evaluate my unit that I had recently purchased, immediately saw that there was two layers of flooring and accurately assess all the issues that would have to be addressed because of it. John showed up early each morning raring to go. He didn't stop to eat all day. He just kept on going until the alarm working hours in my building were up. When he was done, all he wanted to do was offer help with more tasks in my remodel. He proceeded to help me far beyond his original scope with a smile on his face. John was focused on quality, customer service, and value for me the entire time. He has a lot of knowledge for beyond installing flooring. His experience with demolition gives him great insight as to how things fit together and how things are put together. He instinctively near what was going on behind the walls. I had a criminal contractor do a bunch of illegal wiring and shoddy Plumbing in my home. John was able to accurately predict what was going on with things that were out of sight. When we eventually opened up the walls to fix what was wrong, John was right about everything. He gave me value far beyond the money that I paid him. I am very grateful Two thumbtack for introducing me to him. I own several rental properties and Will surely am divine more in the future. John will be my first call each time when I do.

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do I hire the best general contractor in Denver?

To find the best general contractor in Denver for your project, make sure that you have a specific idea of the work you need done. Go online and research a few contractors near you to see if they offer these services. 

Afterward, contact them and discuss your project details. You can ask for a free estimate and check to make sure that they hold the proper insurance and licenses in Denver. 

What do construction project managers do?

Construction project managers help in all stages of your construction project, starting from the very first step. Typically paid a percentage of a total project cost, they are part of the design and planning process and help ensure seamless communication between the design parties and the construction team. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, their scope of work includes preparing cost estimates, budgets and work timetables; interpreting and explaining contracts and technical information to other professionals; reporting work progress and budget to clients; collaborating with architects, engineers and other construction pros; selecting subcontractors and scheduling and coordinating their tasks; responding to work delays, emergencies and other problems; and ensuring compliance with legal requirements, building and safety codes, and other regulations.

The work of construction project managers may seem very similar to that of general contractors, but there are some critical differences. One difference is that, unlike most general contractors, project managers are not engaged in the actual construction — they are onsite overseeing the work of subcontractors. Another key difference is that project managers are hired during the design phase, while general contractors are hired after plans have been made. The project manager is generally paid a percentage of the total project cost, while the general contractor is more typically paid according to the bid they gave to build your project.  

How much does a project manager charge per hour?

You may choose to hire a construction project manager for your residential or commercial project. For the hands-on homeowner who wants to be involved in home construction but isn’t comfortable hiring subcontractors, a construction project manager can oversee these relationships and supervise labor. Typically, construction project managers charge a fee that is a flat percentage of the total construction project cost. This may range from 10 percent to 15 percent, depending on the company and the services they provide. This means a $30,000 home remodel project would have a construction project management fee of $3,000-$4,500. Hiring a construction project manager generally precludes the markup on subcontractor labor charged by a general contractor. The drawback to this choice is that, unlike a general contractor, the construction project manager won’t be financially responsible for the work of the subcontractors. For larger projects, you may hire a construction project manager who will also hire a general contractor. This provides the benefits of the general contractor along with the management services of the project manager, who will be on board from the beginning. The construction project manager will be involved in the design phase and work with the architects and the building crew, facilitating a smoother overall process.

How do I find out if a contractor is licensed?

It’s important to know if your project requires work by a licensed professional, as licensing laws can vary by state, locality, and job details. You can find general licensing information online at the government websites that handle occupational licensing for a given profession in your state or location. Some states designate a project cost over which you have to hire a licensed contractor. To find qualified licensed contractors, search your state’s licensing board. For example, in California, the Department of Consumer Affairs operates a searchable database through the Contractors State License Board. In some states, contracting licenses are provided at a regional level. You can find links to specific databases on BRB Publications’ Occupational Licensing page. Red flags that a contractor may not be licensed or may be providing an expired or false license number are unreasonably low bids or a request for complete payment upfront.

What is a contractor license number?

A contractor license number is proof that your contractor is operating their business legally, that they have the proper documentation required by your state or region, and that they are competent in their area of work (electrical, plumbing, construction, etc.). Licensed contractors should freely advertise their contractor license number. If not, you can request it before considering them for hire. You can also research your contractor using their license number. The database for your state will indicate the field they are licensed to work in; whether they are up to date on insurance, workers’ compensation and bonds; and whether they have any consumer complaints issued against them. If the licensed contractor you are hiring does not have employees, they are not required to carry workers’ compensation. Each state or region will have their own database for licenses, such as the State of Oregon Construction Contractors Board. For more, check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.
