What is the difference between JMT and a General Contractor?

Property Care Management - Fine Homes and Estates - JM Talbo...
In many ways, they are similar, but there are differences. With a General Contractor, any subcontractors that are hired to work on the property are actually working for the General Contractor, not the property owner. With JMT, all subcontractors are hired by and are working directly for the property owner, but under the guidance and direction of JMT. This is similar to when you might call a plumber or electrician to come out and make a repair to your home. See similar questions...
