Question 1

What services does your general contracting team provide?

Accepted Answer

We handle full home remodeling, repairs, and structural work for homeowners in North Kingstown and nearby areas. Our services include kitchen and bathroom renovations, deck construction, interior and exterior repairs, painting, window and door installation, and basement finishing. We also manage carpentry, framing, and small home fixes that keep your property safe and updated. Whether it’s a small repair or a large renovation, we manage the entire project from start to finish.

Question 2

What is included in a general contractor’s scope of work?

Accepted Answer

A general contractor oversees the entire project—planning, scheduling, materials, labor, subcontractors, and inspections. We coordinate electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and any specialists needed for your job. Our team handles permits, ensures work meets building codes, and keeps communication clear at every stage. The goal is to make your project smooth, organized, and completed to professional standards.

Question 3

What jobs should I definitely hire a GC for (vs DIY)?

Accepted Answer

Projects involving structure, electrical, plumbing, roofing, or permits should always be handled by a licensed general contractor. These tasks impact safety, require inspections, and can cause expensive damage if done incorrectly. Larger remodels like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements also benefit from a GC who manages trades and timelines. DIY is fine for cosmetic updates, but anything beyond simple touches is safer and faster with a professional.

Question 4

Can a general contractor help with design as well as build?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most general contractors, including our team, assist with both the design and construction phases. We help plan layouts, material selections, and cost-effective solutions that fit your style and budget. Good design planning prevents costly changes later and ensures everything fits together properly. If your project requires a more detailed design, we can also coordinate with architects or designers.

Question 5

How long should a typical renovation take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the project. Small repairs or updates may take a few hours to a few days, while bathrooms and kitchens usually take several weeks. Full-home remodels, structural work, or multi-room renovations can take a few months. We provide a clear estimated timeline upfront and keep you updated as the project moves forward.

Question 6

How do you estimate the project cost and timeline?

Accepted Answer

We start with an on-site visit to understand your home, goals, materials, and any potential challenges. Based on the scope of work, we create a detailed estimate outlining labor, materials, and expected timeline. We also discuss optional upgrades or cost-saving alternatives so you can choose what fits your budget. Transparency is key — you always know what’s included and what to expect.

Our team works directly with North Kingstown building departments and understands local codes and requirements. We schedule inspections, meet officials on site, and make sure all work meets Rhode Island safety standards. This saves homeowners time and ensures everything is built legally and correctly.

Question 8

What is your process from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

Our process begins with a conversation and on-site assessment to understand your project. Next, we provide a detailed estimate and timeline, then finalize materials and design choices together. After that, we schedule the work, coordinate trades, and manage every step of the construction. Once the project is completed, we review everything with you, handle any final touch-ups, and ensure you’re fully satisfied.
