shyam das says, "I met with Rafael from SRS Installation LLC through a flooring project that I secured from Home Depot.The first project I did was for an engineering wood install and they were on time and finished the job before the estimated completion date. He is responsible, responsive, very reasonable no compromise on Quality and trustworthy.This I cannot say for many contractors. He is one of the best teams I have hired and would recommend him for his quality of work and the price he gives for the job on hand makes sense as it is always reasonable.I have hired him for another job to be done next week with deluxe vinyl flooring and steps . I will add those pictures when done. ."See more

Alexa W. says, "Ryan helped me revamp my partially finished basement and laundry room, making this area into an aesthetically pleasing and more functional space. From the start, Ryan listened to what I was looking for and offered multiple options and price points to get there. He was able to complete the project with a budget well under what I was expecting, and I’m super pleased with the results. As a woman homeowner, I’ve been talked down to by many contractors, but I never experienced that with Ryan and team. I’d recommend them to a friend and I’ll be hiring them again in the future. Photos include after / before shots of the space."See more

Susan R. says, "We had several severe structural and foundation issues with our house that needed to be addressed before the house collapsed. After conversations with multiple contractors that said they would get back to us with a quote but never did and completely ghosted us because of amount of work that needed to be completed. Tony and his crew took on the job! They were a complete blessing! They addressed every single issue that we had and went above and beyond! The amount of work they completed in a short amount of time was impressive! Our house should have been condemned (unbeknownst to us because we couldn't see due to floors and walls and an inaccessible crawlspace) was brought back to life with soild foundation, supports, and beams. Tony and his crew are honest, prompt, and they cleaned up after themselves. We had no issues with communication and they explained what we needed, why we needed it, and problems that would happen in the future (which helped us several times in making decisions along the way) but it wasn't a sales pitch or pushing for unnecessary work."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

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.
