After 20 years of spending summer and winter vacations at our family home in Rehoboth Beach, we made the move in August of 2019 and enrolled our daughter in Rehoboth Elementary School as well. While we are new to the area as full time residents, we have a long family history in Delaware. Lamb Residential Services primary focus is older homes. With 2 decades experience, we can manage large renovations and restorations, as well as maintenance and the small tasks of historic homes. Additionally, we carry the required General Contractor's Licenses for Rehoboth Beach, Henlopen Acres and North Shores.
"We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Michael and his crew! Michael was very creative in helping us envision the projectâ adding a second story to our ranch houseâ in ways we had not thought of. He understood and adhered to our budget. *Impeccable* work down to the last detail. Excellent project management â everything ran like clockwork. Great communication as wellâ we were never left in the dark about a detail or left wondering about progress, even though we were an hour and a half away. Crew was excellent as well! And the finished product is better than we dreamed of. We recommend him wholeheartedly!"

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.
