Frequently Asked General Contracting Questions
As one of the most recommended general contractors, J. Benjamin General Contracting, LLC has a wide range of experience and training that is designed to meet the growing and changing needs of homes of all shapes, sizes, and requirements. We’ve put together a list of some of the questions we are asked on a regular basis, paired with answers we hope you will find helpful.
Are You Insured?
Yes. We carry full, up-to-date insurance policies for all our employees and for every project and piece of equipment, vehicle and machinery we own and operate.
Do You Carry General Liability and/or Workers Compensation Insurance?
Yes. We carry both general liability and workers compensation insurance and can produce the supporting certification documentation at your request.
Do You Clean Up After the Job?
Cleaning up after a job is one of the ways we set ourselves apart from other local companies. We require each of our crews to clean up tools, working materials and any debris created by the work we have completed. We’ve streamlined our site prep procedures to reduce and eliminate messes as they occur, leaving your property safe and tidy the whole way through.
Do You Use Sub-Contractors?
Reliable sub-contractors can add value to a residential build. While we are equipped to offer most services in-house, there are occasions where using a trusted sub-contractor will increase your ability to hit cost-savings and timeline targets. When this occurs, all work is supervised diligently, and the highest quality craftmanship and customer service is still expected and guaranteed.
Do You Have Pictures of Previous Jobs?

Are You Licensed?

Will I Be Able to Request Changes During the Project?
Open communication and our thorough consultation process allow us to fully explore the fine details of your vision. We will help you prepare decisions that need to be finalized at each stage of the process, so you can be confident you are getting exactly what you need.
If you would like to make changes after materials have been ordered, we can certainly accommodate your wishes.
