What You Get When It's Done Right

You get a home that works better for your family. No more putting off that kitchen renovation or avoiding the basement because the previous contractor left it half-finished.

When your general contractor actually shows up and does what they promised, you stop worrying about whether the work will pass inspection. You stop explaining to neighbors why there’s been a dumpster in your driveway for three months.

You get your weekends back. Your family stops asking when the construction noise will end. And you finally have a space you’re proud to show people instead of apologizing for the mess.

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come look at what you want done. We measure, ask questions, and give you a realistic timeline and cost. No ballpark estimates that double later.

Then we get the permits sorted out. You don’t have to figure out what forms the town needs or stand in line at the building department. We handle that part because we do it regularly.

During construction, we keep you updated on what’s happening and when. If we hit a problem, we tell you about it and explain your options. No surprises at the end about why everything costs more than we discussed.

When we’re done, we clean up the job site and walk through everything with you. The work gets inspected, passes, and you get a home improvement that actually improves your home.

What's Included in Our General Contracting

We handle kitchen and bathroom renovations, room additions, basement finishing, and major repairs. Basically, if it requires permits and multiple trades, we coordinate the whole thing.

That includes electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work through licensed subcontractors we’ve worked with for years. You don’t have to schedule three different people and hope they show up on the right days.

We also handle the inspection process. In Centerville, you need inspections at specific stages, and if something doesn’t pass, it holds up the whole project. We know what the inspectors look for because we deal with them regularly.

It depends on the scope, but most kitchen renovations take 3-4 weeks, bathroom remodels take 2-3 weeks, and room additions take 6-8 weeks. Weather affects exterior work, and permit approval can add time on the front end. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and update you if anything changes. The key is having all materials delivered before we start and coordinating subcontractors properly so nobody’s waiting around for the previous trade to finish.
Most structural changes, electrical work, and plumbing modifications require permits from the Town of Centerville. Kitchen and bathroom renovations usually need permits if you’re moving walls or updating electrical and plumbing. Room additions definitely need permits. We handle the permit applications because we know what documentation the building department requires and how long approval typically takes. It’s easier for us to deal with any questions that come up during the review process.
We discuss potential issues during the initial estimate and build realistic contingencies into the budget. If we discover something unexpected like old wiring that needs updating or structural issues, we stop work and explain your options before proceeding. You approve any additional costs before we do the work. Most overruns happen because contractors don’t investigate thoroughly upfront or don’t communicate when problems arise. We’d rather spend extra time on the estimate than surprise you with bills later.
Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We’re properly licensed for general contracting work in New York State and Centerville specifically. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project, and our coverage protects both your property and our workers. Many homeowners don’t realize that if an uninsured contractor gets hurt on their property, they could be liable for medical costs. Our insurance eliminates that risk for you.
We warranty our workmanship for one year from project completion. That covers any issues with installation or construction quality, not normal wear and tear or damage from other causes. Most problems show up within the first few months if they’re going to happen at all. We also make sure you get manufacturer warranties on materials like fixtures, appliances, and flooring. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it without charging you again.
Absolutely. We work with plans from architects and designers regularly. Sometimes we suggest modifications based on practical construction considerations or local building codes, but we can build to professional specifications. If you don’t have plans yet, we can recommend local architects and designers we’ve worked with successfully. Having good plans upfront makes the whole project go smoother and helps avoid changes during construction that slow things down and cost extra money.
