A general contractor is the one person who answers for the whole job. That matters most when a job takes more than one trade, because somebody has to decide what happens first and what gets checked before it gets covered up. On my jobs that person is me.
Here is what that looks like in Kelso. The Searcy deck was sold as a re-deck. When the old material came off, the framing under it was soft, and it became a full structural rebuild in cedar. On the Karpinski house the old shake came off to bare sheathing, the walls were repaired and wrapped, fiber cement and paint went on, and a slider got framed into a bedroom wall while it was open. One contractor from the first walkthrough to the finish.
Kelso sits low against two rivers and climbs into hills, and that shows up in the work. Crawlspaces stay damp, decks on the downhill side of a house stay wet, and water off the slope finds the uphill wall. A job here rarely stays in one trade, and a general contractor is who handles that without stopping to find somebody else.
Electrical and plumbing go to licensed trades. The carpentry is mine. I trained as a cement mason before the general contracting, and I am on site for every pour.
You get a written estimate before anything is ordered, and if something behind a wall changes the job, you hear the number before the work goes ahead. My shop is on Confer Road in Kalama, a few minutes south. Thirty years in the trade. When you hire me you get me.
