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, who comes in when, and what gets checked before it gets covered up. On my jobs that person is me, and I am standing there when the call has to be made.
Here is what that looks like. I turned a three-car garage into an accessory dwelling unit, a separate place to live on the same lot. I did the conversion, roofed it, and painted the main house. One contractor from the first walkthrough to the last coat of paint, instead of a homeowner trying to line up three companies and referee between them.
Longview was laid out as a planned city, and most of the houses went up between the 1920s and the 1950s. Work on a house that age rarely stays in one trade. Siding comes off and there is rot at the bottom of the wall. A kitchen wall opens up and the wiring behind it was sized for a light and a radio. A general contractor is who deals with that without stopping the job to go find someone 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. Framing, decks, siding, tile, finish work and the running of the job stay with me.
I pull the permits. 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, fifteen minutes south of Longview. Thirty years in the trade. When you hire me you get me.
