My crew is experienced in all phases of interior work. Kitchens and bathrooms remain popular projects. As a General Contractor (GC), I have licensed electricians and plumbers that I use as needed.
We use tarps to protect the portions of the house not being worked on.
We strive to work consecutive days until the project is done. Nobody want a 1-month project to go on for 6-months.
We involve the customer in selection of materials. Higher-end customers are encouraged to select the style of wood flooring, tiles, exterior doors, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, etc.
I have relationships with low-cost granite installers. Granite countertops have to be specially cut and polished at the granite warehouse/factory. The installer will come to the house, make a template of the exact size, and then come back to install the finished and polished slab. This is something that is always subcontracted out, no contractor has this equipment. The informed homeowner will WANT this to be subcontrated out, including the sink basin installation.
Installing cabinets is an art
Every one of them has to be perfectly leveled and shimmed and screwed to each other. The "high point" of the floor needs to be determined before installing any of them. It doesn't take half a day to throw cabinets into a kitchen.
Sheetrock is also an art
and there are building codes to be followed. 5/8" for all exterior walls, and 1/2" for all interior walls and ceilings. The green sheetrock goes in basements. 1/2" cement board for bathrooms, especially wet areas such as the floor and the shower walls.
Never use 3/8" sheetrock on a stud-framed wall
It's against building codes and you'll have problems hanging pictures and you'll be plagued with cracks and holes. Houses from the 1950's and early 1960's often have 3/8" sheetrock, and its always a problem. 3/8" sheetrock is used ONLY to go over the old plaster/lathe walls.
Anyone can paint, but most people don't know how to do it
Unless the walls are perfect, spackling and sanding must be done before the painting, and this takes more time than the painting. Old seams between walls and molding are often cracked or in bad condition; they must be caulked. Budget rollers and brushes waste more time and cause more problems. Don't use them. One named-brand paint supplier makes the best rollers, by far. They can be reused dozens of times.
