Family owned and operated business with 20 years in the construction industry. We focus on high-quality tile work and meticulous attention to detail. We value transparency and honesty and offer fair pricing for our services.
"We hired Brad to fully remodel our very outdated bathroom, and we are so happy we did! He was always professional, very personable, and we felt like he had a connection to his work... like he was working on his own house. We went with a large format tile and Brad didn't just put them up, he cut and arranged them so the marble pattern looked fluid across the walls. His attention to detail didn't stop there; from the finishes to the smallest things like new switch plates, he transformed a dull old bathroom into a beautiful little spa. Not only would we enthusiastically recommend him, we've already booked him to do a refresh on our second bathroom."

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.
Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.
General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.
When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
