when you are getting a bathroom remodeled and have a contractor?

Question

do you pay the plumber for the work too or that is thru them?

Answer 1

When you hired the contractor, you told him what you wanted done. If the plumbing was included as part of the job, the contractor takes care of hiring and paying him. Hopefully you have a signed contract. It should plainly state what work is to be done for the price quoted. If the contractor is not doing the plumbing himself (or the people who have been working on the remodel) and a separate plumber shows up, ask him before he starts working if he is being paid by the contractor. Otherwise, you could end up with a contractors lien against your house because of a misunderstanding. Everything should be in writing in the contract.

Answer 2

read your contract, if you have one. A general contractor is like a general in the army. He tells the subs when to show up and what to do and pay them when they are due pay.

Answer 3

That really depends, my boyfriend and his dad own a contracting business and they do the plumbing themselves...when you are getting estimates ask the contractors about that...
