General Contracting — Est. 2004

Built On Quality, Backed By Integrity

Capabilities

What we build.

Every job runs through the same shop standard, from a powder room refresh to a full teardown-rebuild.

SVC.01 — KITCHEN

Kitchen Remodels

Layout, cabinetry, counters, and mechanicals reworked as one system, not a parts list.

SVC.02 — BATH

Bathroom Renovation

Waterproofing done right first, then the finishes you’ll actually notice every morning.

SVC.03 — ADD

Home Additions

Square footage that matches the bones of the original house, structurally and visually.

SVC.04 — RENO

Renovations

One GC, one schedule, one point of accountability for the entire scope.

SVC.05 — BSMT

Basement

Livable square footage with proper egress, moisture control, and real ceiling height.

SVC.06 — EXT

Exteriors & Decks

Siding, decking, and envelope work built to outlast the warranty on the materials.

Method

How a project moves.

Four stages, no surprises. You'll know what's happening and when, every week.

01 — WALKTHROUGH

Site Walkthrough

We measure, assess, and talk through what's actually possible with your space and budget.

02 — PROPOSAL

Fixed Proposal

A line-itemized scope and timeline, priced once, not padded with change-order bait.

03 — BUILD

Build & Check-ins

Weekly walkthroughs on site, with photo logs so you always know where things stand.

04 — HANDOFF

Final Walkthrough

Punch list closed before we leave, plus a binder of warranties and finish specs.

They quoted a number in March and that's the number we paid in June. Never happened to us before.

Weekly photo updates meant I never had to guess what was happening while I was at work.

— S. Devries, Renovation
"

The crew treated the house like it was theirs. Clean site every single day, no exceptions.
