"My parents and I hired Jeff Wilbanks to repair their home after filing a water damages claim through their insurance. I found his company on this Home Advisor site and reading through reviews. Jeff contacted me back very promptly and we discussed the needed repairs. Jeff was truly an answer to prayer after many months of having to struggle with the insurance claims process (Allstate is deplorable). We talked on multiple occasions to make sense of the insurance estimate and make selections to put my parents house back in order, and my parents were very pleased with him and his subs. They did an excellent job with insulation, drywall repair, new carpet, new LVT, painting, trim work, door replacement, toilet and faucet replacement, closet repair, and so much more that Iâ m sure Iâ m missing. He is very trustworthy and kind and I know he went above and beyond for our family. The house looks great and he did it quickly, considering the process with insurance outside of our control. Thank you Jeff! You have our highest recommendation and appreciation!"

"The egg rock that my neighbor and I had installed in a water runoff area between his house and mine had failed and suffered damage every time we had a really heavy rain. Eric and his team put in a dry creek bed, which solved the problem. Having dealt with a number of landscape companies, I don't think I ever hired one more impressive than Nesbitt. Eric was cordial and professional,.. a pleasure to work with."

Established in 1987, GP Hardscape Pavers, Inc. in Cumming, GA is a family owned Atlanta Hardscape business. I’m Eddie Galvao and I started working installing pavers and retaining walls in the Sunshine State more than 20 years ago. Back then, I was mostly a middle man contractor for other larger companies, but felt the need for something bigger. So I moved on to being a paver contractor in Cumming, Georgia and started my own company, GP Hardscape, Inc.
"Great job! Iraci and her team at GP Hardscape were very professional, they constructed a walkway and build a retaining wall and a patio that is the envy of my neighbors. They did everything in a timely manner and finished the job on time."

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.
