What the scorecard measures

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with the other firms in the pool. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a score built on more reviews counts for more. Recency reflects whether reviews are still arriving.

What drives a general contractor’s quote

No prices are published here. A contractor’s quote depends on the size of the project, how many trades it involves, the materials you choose, permits and inspections, and what is found once walls or roofs are opened. Ask for a written scope and a plan for how changes are priced.

Contractors serving Buffalo and nearby towns

All Access Builders’ site lists Lackawanna, West Seneca, Cheektowaga, Depew, Williamsville, Kenmore, Orchard Park, Lancaster, Elma, Amherst, Clarence, East Aurora, Tonawanda and Hamburg as service areas. Irish Jones says it serves Buffalo and surrounding areas, and Trident has a Genesee St address in the city. Searching for a general contractor near me? Call and confirm your address is covered.

What to ask a general contractor

  • Which trades do you handle yourself, and which do you subcontract?

  • How do you price changes if something unexpected turns up?
  • What deposit do you require, and when is it due?
  • Can you share photos or references from a project like mine?
