General contractor question

[Megan Smock]

Are licensed general contractors usually willing to walk through a home with you even if you are not under contract nor own the property yet? I can see the benefits of getting a rough estimate on the cost it would take to repair the house, but not sure what they have in the deal if the repairs are too high and we did not buy the property.

As a contractor , I will do it . But i will charge my hourly rate with a 4 hour minimum . Nothing in life is free.
