Featured Reviews for General Contractors Near Me

Mayflower Construction Group

A&E Construction and Design Center
General Contractors Near Me
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 25, 2013
“I have hired A&E Construction for both large and small projects multiple times over the past 8 years and without any hesitation, give them the highest recommendation possible. The owner of the company, Greg Fontaine, is experienced, knowledgeable, honest and reliable. Projects were always done on time and on budget and if for some reason, the schedule needs to change, Greg does an excellent job communicating the reasons. Before working with A&E, we hired many contractors over the years, and no one ever compared in terms of quality of work combined with reliability and trustworthiness. Another thing we've really appreciated about working with Greg is his ability to provide us with options and ideas if we needed to scale back on a project. Two of the larger projects Greg did for us were finishing our basement and building a poolhouse. Greg was very cognizant that we did not have an unlimited budget and worked with us to make sure we got the most for our money. Greg also does an excellent job hiring talented and reliable people that I am always comfortable having in my home. Additionally, they are very neat and always clean up after themselves at the end of each day. Lastly, and most importantly, Greg really cares about his customers and goes above and beyond what's expected to make sure they are 100% satisfied. I can't say enough good things about him and A&E!! If you hire them, you won't be disappointed.”

A thorough general contractor's bid should include several key elements. Look for detailed cost breakdowns covering materials, labor, subcontractor work, and any allowances for fixtures or finishes. The bid should also specify the project timeline, payment schedule, and clarify what's not included in the price. Red flags in a bid include vague descriptions, unusually low pricing compared to other bids, missing permit costs, or lack of allowance for unexpected issues. A professional bid will also outline the contractor's process for handling change orders and additional work requests. Make sure everything is clearly itemized and request clarification for any terms or costs you don't understand. Compare multiple bids using the same criteria, and remember that the lowest bid isn't always the best choice - focus on value, completeness, and clarity.
