Frequently Asked Questions

How detailed should my project description be?

The more details, the better! Include project scope, timeline, specific requirements, and any relevant photos. Detailed descriptions help general contractors provide accurate quotes and reduce misunderstandings. You can always discuss specifics further before starting work.

What if weather delays my outdoor project?

Weather delays are common for outdoor work. Discuss contingency plans with your general contractor upfront. For fixed-price projects, reasonable weather delays typically don't affect pricing. For hourly projects, you only pay for time actually worked. Your escrow remains protected during delays.

How much does it cost to hire a general contractor in Houston?

In Houston, typical rates range from 105-168 per hour, depending on experience and job complexity. Emergency services typically cost 210-420. Get free quotes from multiple professionals to compare exact pricing for your specific needs.

What's the difference between hourly and fixed price hiring?

Hourly hiring is perfect for jobs where the scope might change or for ongoing maintenance. You pay only for actual hours worked, tracked in real-time. Fixed price is better for well-defined projects where you want to know the total cost upfront. Both options include full escrow protection.

How can I become a professional on Kokobeo?

If you're a licensed general contractor looking to grow your business, visit our Professional Sign-Up page. You'll need to provide license information, insurance details, and pass our verification process. Once approved, you can start receiving project requests and building your reputation on our platform.

How do I compare multiple quotes effectively?

Look beyond just price - consider professional ratings, completed projects, response time, and proposal details. The lowest quote isn't always the best value. Read reviews from past customers to understand the quality and reliability each general contractor provides.

What if I'm not satisfied with the work?

If you're not satisfied, simply don't release the payment from escrow. Contact our support team and we'll mediate the situation. If the issue can't be resolved, you'll receive a full refund. Your money stays protected until you're 100% happy with the results.

What if the professional needs to buy materials?

For fixed-price projects, materials are typically included in the quote. For hourly projects, you can either purchase materials yourself or reimburse the professional. All material costs should be discussed and agreed upon before work begins, with receipts provided for transparency.
