FAQs

General Contracting FAQ — Delaware

File with your state contractor licensing board — many have recovery funds (up to $10k–$25k depending on state). File a police report for contractor fraud. Contact your homeowner's insurance (some policies have contractor fraud endorsements). Place a mechanics lien notice to protect your property from subcontractor liens for work the GC hasn't paid for. Consult a construction attorney immediately — time-sensitive actions exist.

Yes — the GC markup (typically 10–20%) covers their coordination labor, risk/liability management, warranty responsibility, insurance allocation, and profit. A GC who simply passes through subcontractor bids without markup is either working at a loss (unsustainable) or hiding the markup elsewhere. The alternative — direct-hiring individual subs yourself — requires significant project management time and transfers coordination risk entirely to you.

Request a written project schedule with current status on every open task. A contractor should be able to explain every delay with a specific reason: permit hold, material lead time, sub schedule conflict. Unexplained delays often indicate your project is being deprioritized for more profitable jobs. Your contract should have a completion date — if delays become chronic, send a written notice that you consider the contract in breach.

Ask your GC for a copy of each subcontractor's license and certificate of insurance naming your project. This is a reasonable request. If a worker is injured on your property and the subcontractor is unlicensed or uninsured, you can face liability exposure. Legitimate GCs welcome this due diligence — resistance to providing proof is a red flag.

You have the right to withhold final payment for legitimate, documented defects. Give the contractor a written list of specific items with photos and a deadline to correct them. If they won't correct the work, you can hire another contractor and offset the costs from withheld payment. A contractor who places a lien for defective work faces a difficult legal position — their lien is only valid for work properly performed.

Fixed-price (lump sum): you know the total cost upfront; contractor bears risk of overruns. Better for well-defined scopes (new construction, defined remodels). Time-and-materials (cost-plus): you pay actual costs plus markup; better for projects with undefined scope or lots of unknowns. Hybrid: fixed-price for defined work, T&M for unknown/hidden conditions. Whatever the type, get a detailed scope in writing — vague contracts cause disputes.
