We build homes and the places people work.

Yes. A half-day of trim carpentry and a six-figure build-out go through the same process, just compressed. Small jobs are how most of our long-term clients started, and we'd rather do yours well than turn it away.

We won't guess at it over the phone, because a number pulled out of the air helps nobody. After the walkthrough you get a line-item bid with allowances and exclusions written out, so you can see exactly what's driving the price and where you have room to move.

It depends on the scope and on how busy your local permit office is. What we will do is give you a real date rather than "soon" — and if that date is ever at risk, you hear it from us first, not the other way round.

We do, on every job that needs one, and we meet the inspector. If a contractor asks you to pull the permit under your own name, that's them moving the liability onto you.

Just ask. We carry $2M general liability plus workers' comp, and we're bonded on commercial contracts. Property managers can have us added as an additional insured before mobilization — just ask when you request the bid.

A deposit to schedule, then draws tied to completed milestones — never to dates on a calendar. The final draw isn't invoiced until you've completed the final walkthrough and approved the finished work. We don't ask for large sums up front.

You get a written change order with the cost and the schedule impact, and nothing starts until you approve it. Old houses and old buildings hide things — the goal isn't zero surprises, it's zero surprise invoices.

Yes, and for retail, restaurant and clinical spaces it's often the cheaper option once you count lost trading days. Say so in your bid request and we'll price both ways.
