• Will the contract list the scope, materials, price, start and finish dates and payment schedule?
• Who pulls the permits, and are they included in the price?
• Who will run the job day to day, and will you use subcontractors?

New York Rules

New York has no statewide general contractor license, and cities or counties set the rules. Threshold: None statewide; cities such as New York City and Buffalo have their own rules. Read the New York license summary.

• A general contractor is responsible for the whole job; ask how subcontractors are chosen and paid.
• Ask for lien waivers with each payment so unpaid subcontractors cannot claim against your property.
• Keep a contingency for surprises, especially in older homes.
