Okay, so Derek has a license from the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board, which is a reputable source. General contractors with licenses in the US typically charge between $50-$150 per hour, depending on location and experience. Since Derek is based in Rogers, Arkansas, a smaller market, his rate might be on the lower side. Considering his license and certification, I'd estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is below the national average but still competitive for a local contractor.
