How to choose between them

  • Check the license yourself. Where Pennsylvania or Philadelphia licenses this work, the licensing board's own lookup confirms a license number in a minute. Do it before you sign, not after.
  • Get three bids on the same scope. Written down, split into labor, materials, allowances and anything structural. Most people compare a total against a total and end up choosing between two different projects.
  • Ask what is not included. Permits, debris removal, fixture and finish allowances, and repairs after demolition are the four that turn a cheap bid into an average one.
  • Never pay a large deposit up front. A deposit to order materials and hold a start date is normal. Half the total before anyone shows up is not.

General contractors in Philadelphia: common questions

How much deposit should a contractor ask for?

Some states cap it: California limits the down payment on home improvement work to 10% of the price or $1,000, whichever is less. Elsewhere, 10% to 30% is typical, with the rest paid against completed stages. A demand for half up front is a warning sign.

Fixed price or cost-plus?

Fixed price suits a fully drawn project with few unknowns. Cost-plus suits old houses where nobody knows what is behind the walls, but only with a cap or a detailed estimate and open books.
