General Contractingin Concord, NC

Concord has storefronts downtown, retail and hospitality around Concord Mills, and thousands of homes where owners want to add space. We scope the project, hire and sequence the trades, and stay accountable from first bid to final inspection.

General contracting in Concord

Downtown storefronts, mall-area business, and growing homes.

Concord projects run from small downtown renovations to larger commercial suites to home additions. What they share is the need for someone to coordinate it all. Pick the kind of project closest to yours.

Historic storefronts

Renovating older buildings near Union Street

Historic downtown buildings have brick walls, tall ceilings, and layers of past alterations. Renovating them means finding out what is behind the plaster, dealing with unknown conditions, and coordinating a design review where historic overlay rules apply.

We survey conditions first, coordinate any review boards, and sequence trades around the building's quirks.

Where this comes up

  • Storefronts with failing roofs and brick
  • Upper-floor apartments being brought back into use
  • Restaurants fitting into old buildings

Protect yourself

What to get in writing on a Concord project.

Clear paperwork is the best protection a client has, whatever the size of the job.

Get in writing

  • The contractor's license details and proof of insurance.
  • A schedule with milestones and consequences for delay.
  • Who pulls each permit and when.

Be wary of

  • Payments that run ahead of completed work.
  • Verbal agreements on extra work.
  • Work that begins before permits are issued.
  • Bids far lower than the rest, with no explanation.
