How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out to see what you’re dealing with and talk through what you want to accomplish. No pressure, no sales pitch – just an honest conversation about your project and what it takes to do it right.

We put together a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. You’ll know what you’re paying for and when things will happen. If we run into something unexpected, we talk to you before making changes.

Once we start, you get regular updates on progress. We show up when we say we will, clean up at the end of each day, and handle the coordination with inspectors and suppliers so you don’t have to chase anyone down.

What's Included in Our Service

Every general contracting project includes project management from start to finish. We handle permits, inspections, material ordering, and subcontractor coordination so you don’t have to become an expert in construction management.

You get quality materials from suppliers we trust. We don’t cut costs by using materials that will cause problems later. The goal is work that lasts, not work that needs redoing in a few years.

We include cleanup and final walkthrough. Your project isn’t done until you’re satisfied with the results and understand how to maintain what we’ve built or installed.

How long do most general contracting projects take in Southampton?

Timeline depends on the scope and complexity of your project. Small renovations like bathroom updates typically take 2-3 weeks. Kitchen remodels usually run 4-6 weeks. Larger projects like additions or whole-home renovations can take 2-4 months. Southampton’s permit process can add 1-2 weeks to the front end, which we factor into our scheduling. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.
Southampton requires permits for most construction work beyond basic maintenance. You’ll need permits for electrical, plumbing, structural changes, additions, and renovations that change room layouts. Even some exterior work like decks and fences requires permits. We handle the permit applications for you since we know what Southampton’s building department requires and how to get approvals without delays. The permit fees are separate from our construction costs, and we’ll tell you upfront what to expect.
We include a detailed breakdown in every estimate so you know what you’re paying for. If we discover something unexpected – like old wiring that needs updating or structural issues that weren’t visible initially – we stop work and discuss your options before proceeding. You’ll get a written change order with the additional cost and timeline impact. We don’t make changes without your approval, and we don’t surprise you with bills for work you didn’t authorize.
Yes, we carry full licensing and insurance for all construction work in Southampton and throughout New York. This includes general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property, and it ensures you’re working with a legitimate contractor who meets New York’s requirements for construction work.
We have extensive experience with Southampton’s older homes and understand the unique challenges they present. This includes working with older electrical and plumbing systems, dealing with settling and structural quirks, and maintaining the character of historic properties. We know how to blend modern improvements with traditional construction methods. If your property has historic designation, we’re familiar with the additional approval processes and requirements for maintaining historic integrity.
You get regular updates on project progress, typically weekly or more frequently for fast-moving projects. We let you know when we’ll be on site, when inspections are scheduled, and if weather or other factors affect the timeline. We return calls and texts promptly because we know you need answers when questions come up. You’ll have direct contact information for the project manager, not a general office number where you leave messages and hope for callbacks.
