Precision Builders, Inc. should definitely be among your considerations http://PrecisionDE.com

There's no one better than Paul Sheridan! (see above for contact info) My husband and I have used Paul for years to do all of the work in our house -- finished basement, two remodeled bathrooms, complete kitchen/dining remodel and more. Paul is does excellent work, is very clean, and is extremely dependable. I'd be happy to tell you more or show you photos of what he's done for me. krf747@verizon.net

Check out my site www.sheridan-construction.com or call me at (302) 994-1434. I am licensed, insured and have been in residential remodeling for nearly 15 years. I have worked both in the city limits, New Castle Country, and surrounding areas. While I can handle some plumbing and electrical issues on my own, I have existing relationship with sub-contractors that I would be happy to coordinate for you. In addition, I have many references I can provide and a few before and after pictures on my site. I hope to hear from you soon.

If you are in the limits of the City of Wilmington, you must use a licensed contractor and you can get a list from Licensing & Inspections. If you are in NCC, the same thing applies & you can get a list from their website or calling Land Use Dept. In either case, you want to try to do as much homework as possible - know what type of siding, gutter, shingles, etc and if possible specify a brand and model. Get at least 3 proposals, and ask to see licensing and insurance information submitted with the written proposals. You don't want the cheapest guy - you are looking for the best value!! Check with BBB and ask each for references (ask for a new one, and an old one if possible and see if you can visit a job they have under construction now) and the CALL Them! It's shocking to me how few people actually call the references.

Sounds to me like you're talking about at least $25 - 35k of work and you will definitely want a GC who then has the licensed subs for electrical, plumbing, hvac, gas - all of which require their own permits. Building drawings/plans will also be required by municipality for a permit so you will want to get started on those as well.

There are a lot of good folks out there, and a few real stinkers! Good Luck!
