Smile Sub-Contracting

Just looking for an explanation on "the process".

We looked at a house here in The Villages that needed extensive cosmetic work (roof, flooring, landscaping). At our ages we don't want to take on the responsibility of all that work. One of our friends said "Just hire a sub-contractor" and have it all done.

Can you tell me please how a sub-contractor works? How would they select the best roofing company or the best priced landscaper? How are they paid? Do they charge a flat fee based on how much work is necessary or do they receive compensation of each job?

Just looking to understand the process and if hiring a sub-contractor is a good idea.

Thank you.
