Professional General Contracting
General contracting services coordinate all aspects of reconstruction following damage—from initial planning through final walkthrough. As your single point of contact, we manage subcontractors, scheduling, permits, inspections, and quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a general contractor vs hiring trades directly?
GC coordinates scheduling, quality, and accountability. Hiring trades directly requires homeowner to manage 5-10 separate contractors, handle conflicts, and ensure code compliance. GC saves time and reduces risk.
Do you only do insurance work?
No—we handle both insurance reconstruction and direct-pay projects. Insurance work has specific documentation requirements, but our quality and process is consistent regardless of payment source.
What warranty do you provide?
One year workmanship warranty on all reconstruction. Manufacturer warranties on materials as applicable. We stand behind our work and address warranty issues promptly.
