"I hired Platinum Touch Industries LLC in the summer of 2018 for my first Fix and Flip remodel project and was impressed with their work. Vince and his team did a fantastic job from demo to cleanup to the finish touches per schedule. Vince was honest at front and very professional. Based on the Scope of Work I presented to him, we were all in the same page. Once milestones were completed within the Project Timeline, payment was made to him in a timely manner. Platinum is honest, reliable, and work ethic is impeccable. I was impressed with their work and demeanor, I hired them again the winter of 2018 for a minor remodel on one of my rental properties and in the Spring/Summer of 2019 for a Major Rehab on a Fix and Flip project in the Lombard area. I would recommend Platinum Touch Industries in all aspects for your Construction Project, whether it is a minor remodel to a major rehab. Thanks Vince and Bob for all you do. Keep up the Great Work!!!"

Major home repairs (general contractor) FAQs

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.

Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.

General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.

When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
