Calgary General Contractors

Feb 22, 2013

“We are currently 2/3 of the way through an existing renovation on the upper floor of our home.. ( Note: we are repeat clients, having used Litwiller several times previously). The scope of work includes redoing (in entirety) two bathrooms. replacing carpet with hardwood throughout the upper level, repainting, installing new light fixtures, the works. Basically, our upstairs is being recreated :-) The reno began on September 8th, 2015 and at the end of September, my husband and I left for several weeks vacation. We have just returned home and are SO PLEASED with both the work that has been done and the condition of our house. Everything is on schedule and the quality of construction is exceptional. Litwiller Renovations considers customer satisfaction job one, and it shows in everything they do. Clients have hands on contact with everyone involved and no question is too small, no request is bypassed, and no deadline is a moving target. We are 100% satisfied and would (and do) recommend Litwiller to all of our friends and family.”

What is a general contractor?

General, or construction contractors, are often known as project managers. They oversee the entire remodeling or new home construction project and facilitate all day-to-day tasks that move it toward completion. A Calgary general building contractor will work with your architect to review plan as you build a house and ensure everything is in place before work is started as well as arrange for permits and necessary inspections. While good local home improvement contractors in Calgary will have the skills to handle certain tasks onsite, such as carpentry, he or she is also responsible for hiring subcontractors for the majority of jobs, such as electrical work, painting or plumbing. In addition, the general contractor should be on-site regularly to inspect the progress and resolve issues. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of general contractors: Architects & Building Designers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Specialty Contractors.

Home remodeling contractors are a must for successful completion of a renovation. Because of this, it's essential that you do your homework before deciding on the right general contractor in Calgary as you remodel or build a house. Inspect bids carefully. Was it ready when the contractor promised it? Was the bid for building a home unusually high or low? Each of these things can be very telling: A late bid may reflect timing standards, and an off-the-mark bid could be code for a pricey premium or a deliberate underbid to score the remodeling job. You should call references, carefully read reviews and visit completed projects in Calgary to see if they’re what you expect for your job. Once you do secure your local Calgary contractors, read the contract very carefully to be sure everyone is on the same page.
