Eagan General Contractor FAQs
What does a general contractor actually do?+
A licensed general contractor coordinates everything on a construction project under one contract: pulling permits, hiring and scheduling trades, ordering materials, managing budget and timeline, handling inspections, and warrantying the finished work. You get one phone number and one fixed-price quote instead of juggling separate plumbers, electricians, and carpenters.
Do I need a general contractor for a kitchen or bath remodel?+
For most kitchen and bath remodels in the Eagan, yes. If the project involves plumbing relocation, electrical work, permits, or more than one trade, a licensed GC keeps the project on schedule and on budget. Smaller cosmetic projects (paint, hardware swaps) can be DIY or single-trade.
What is the markup on a general contractor?+
Most reputable Eagan general contractors run a 15-25% overhead and profit margin on top of direct cost (labor, materials, sub trades). That covers project management, insurance, warranty, and permits. Lower than that usually means corners are being cut somewhere.
How is a general contractor different from a handyman?+
A licensed general contractor carries a state license, general liability and workers comp insurance, can pull permits, and is legally responsible for the work of every sub trade on the project. A handyman is suitable for small repairs but cannot pull permits in Eagan or Saint Paul for plumbing, electrical, or structural work.
