        "text": "A general contractor manages the entire remodeling project, overseeing all aspects from start to finish. They hire and coordinate subcontractors, manage schedules, procure materials, and ensure the project stays on budget and meets quality standards. A specialized contractor, such as a plumber, electrician, or roofer, focuses on a single trade or specific aspect of construction.
