Basement Remodeling
Many homeowners have unfinished basements and opt to renovate them into a functional space. Basements are rewarding renovation projects, allowing you to use your creativity to customize the space to your unique needs and preferences. Popular ideas include adding extra bedrooms, a bathroom, storage units, fitness center, playroom, office, bar, or laundry space.

Bathroom Remodeling
Standard bathrooms usually contain a toilet, bathtub and a sink. Smaller, "half baths" are ideal for high traffic homes or for home owners who like to entertain. If you're thinking of creating an extra bathroom or remodeling an existing one, there's a number of different options to consider. Perhaps you could benefit from a stand up shower, a separate powder room, a vintage claw tub, new fixtures or unique flooring. As more and more people are remodeling and renovating, manufacturers are coming up with a wider variety of styles and materials to choose from. A good contractor will explain all of your options to you and give you enough time to consider the perfect design.

Commercial ConstructionCommercial construction is very different from residential construction, but it does have some of the same design and functionality, allowing many general contractors to take on both job types. Generally speaking commercial construction combines both office space with storage or warehouse space. Perhaps you're interested in creating a retail store out of an empty space or constructing a new restaurant. Commercial construction also includes larger or more complex projects such as a major mall or a full service gas station. Regardless of how large or small your commercial project is, you'll want to make sure the contractor you choose has extensive experience with similar jobs. Feel free to ask for references and pictures of their work.

Decks and PorchesAdding or restoring a deck or patio can create a nice focal point to any home and serve as a great place to entertain. Today's decks are made from a variety of different materials that range in price and quality. Popular choices include pressure treated fir, pine, cedar, redwood or wood polymer, as well as concrete slab and brick pavers. Make sure you inquire about all your options, regardless of the manufacturer your contractor is affiliated with.

Design/Build Program
Design/Build construction programs were created with the home or business owner’s schedule in mind. The project manager or general contractor will overlap different segments or phases of the project, including design, permit gathering, and the actual construction of the project. The Design/Build concept is an offshoot of the traditional Design-Bid-Build process and involves the collaboration of building professionals. This includes architects, project planners, any necessary subcontractors and, in-house workers.
Design/Build projects vary in a few ways. If the project involves one contractor who is in charge of both the design and construction of the project, the program is called "Contractor – Led Design/Build." If the client is actually a design firm that will be handling this phase of the construction process, the job is known as “Design – Led Design/Build” In these cases, design and construction are rarely handled by one group, instead opting to subcontract either part of the job.
The benefits of using the Design/Build approach to complete your project are three-fold: First, the program means that the Design/Build contractor will be accountable for all elements of the building process. Secondly, the deliveries of services come from a single source, eliminating the need to communicate with multiple parties regarding their progress. Finally, the project offers a unique way to gauge value. For instance, if the owner decides to change materials or methods of construction to meet their needs, the owner simply needs to adjust the program without having to re-bid the entire project. Above all, Design/Build programs are usually completed more quickly as a result of streamlining all elements of the building project.
The typical process for a Design/Build program involves the following steps:
1. The owner recognizes their need to build or expand a commercial, residential or industrial space.
2. The owner (or their agent) prepares a list of requirements for the project.
3. The owner approaches a Design/Build firm to develop the project using their maximum price as a guideline.
4. The Design/Build firm prepares its proposal for the design, timeline and costs of a project.
5. If the owner accepts these terms and conditions, a contract is drafted and signed by both parties.
6. The Design/Build contractor carries out the entire project with the help of in-house professionals.

General ContractingOverall, a general contractor provides home building services for an owner or developer. They may have their own team of builders or outsource certain jobs to subcontractor groups. Usually, the party commissioning the job (the home owner) rarely deals with subcontractors and communicates directly with the general contractor. However, a home owner can work as their own general contractor, dealing directly with subcontractors and overseeing the administration and organization of the entire building project. Depending on the nature of the job, a general contractor can also take on commercial projects or specialized jobs within the project.

Kitchen RemodelingThe kitchen is often the most high-traffic area in your entire home. Today's trends include separate sections for multi-tasking, U-shaped designs, stainless steel and professional grade appliances, granite counter tops, custom made cabinets, and butcher blocks. Even if you don't have a lot of space to work with, an experienced contractor will be able to provide you with space maximizing and product ideas that will best meet your needs.

New Home ConstructionBuilding a new home can be both an exciting and overwhelming project. Having an idea of the layout is a good first step, but finding the right contractor is even more important. It is becoming more common for contracting companies to have a comprehensive approach to home building, rather than outsourcing each particular job to architectural design crews and sub-contractors. Any contractor should have an impressive list of references and before and after pictures of similar jobs. In researching contractors for your new home, it is also critical to inquire about licensing, certification, worker's compensation, and warranties on craftsmanship and product quality.
