Understanding what you'll spend on maintenance and upkeep projects at your multi-family apartment and condominium complexes is important ahead of selecting a general contractor.

Are you replacing the roof on multiple buildings?

• Inspection report needed

• Permits required

• Decide on roof style (Shingles, Metal, Rubber, etc.)

• Set a budget

  
  

A general contracting company will meet with you and create a plan for the work and the costs. They will help set a timeline. Note: Some states have specific building codes and regulations for contractors.

Seek bids from multiple contractors and evaluate each one carefully. What is the scope of the work and the materials they propose to use? Will they meet your timeline needs? Is that flexible on your end?

Your general contractor should meet with you to determine their own needs: Some will ask, where can their subcontractors set up to do their work? Park their vehicles and commercial trucks? Will they have access to restrooms on your property?

Working with a reputable general contractor is essential to you getting the best quality work and spending worthy dollars on the project. You want to have lasting results.
