When to Use a General Contractor

A general contractor makes sense when your project involves multiple trades. Framing, plumbing, electrical, and finish work in the same project. GCs coordinate subcontractors, manage scheduling, and serve as your single point of contact. For kitchen remodels, additions, basement finishes, and whole-home renovations, a GC typically adds less cost than the time and complexity of managing trades yourself.

Vermont GCs typically charge a 15 to 25 percent markup on subcontractor and materials costs. Some work on a fixed-price contract. Get multiple bids and compare total project cost.
