A general contractor is one who contracts for the construction of an entire building or project, rather than for a portion of the work. The general contractor hires subcontractors, such as plumbing contractors and electrical contractors, coordinates all work, and is responsible for payment to the said subcontractors. A general contractor also eliminates the hassle of paperwork and permits.

Depending on the size of your major home repair project and where you live, you may need special building permits. A general contractor has the knowledge necessary with respect to zoning laws and a general contractor will also handle all permits and scheduling with inspectors. In addition to taking charge of paperwork, permits and inspections, a general contractor will also work closely with architects and designers to help you achieve a beautiful end result.
