What does a general contractor do?

A general contractor manages the project as a whole: hiring and scheduling trades, ordering materials, supervising quality and keeping you informed.

Can you remove a load-bearing wall?

With an engineered design and the required permit, yes. We coordinate the engineering and the work.

Do you do concrete and masonry on their own?

Yes. These can be standalone projects or part of a larger scope.

Do you take on smaller projects?

Tell us about your project. We will let you know honestly whether it is a good fit.
