What we get hired for

Whole jobs, start to finish, one crew to call. We own the mess in the middle.

01 Full-home renovations

Tired house, inherited house, bought-at-auction house. We take it down to the framing, fix what's behind the walls, and bring it back finished, inspected, and ready to live in or list. Kitchens, baths, flooring, drywall, paint, trim, electrical and plumbing coordination, all under one bid.

02 Landlords & investors

Turns between tenants, make-ready, flips on a schedule. We quote by scope, keep you updated with photos, and don't surprise you at the end.

03 Kitchens & baths

Layout changes, cabinetry, tile, fixtures. The two rooms that sell a house and the two most people regret doing cheap.

04 Commercial build-outs

Restaurants, coffee shops, offices, clinics. From a raw shell to the day you open the doors, including the furniture, because we build that too.

05 Drywall & finishing

Hanging, mudding, level-5 finishes, repairs. A trade we run in-house, so it's never the thing that holds your job up.

06 Property management

Already own it? We'll keep it rented and keep it standing: maintenance, repairs, and the calls you'd rather not take.

07 Decks, framing, flooring

The structural and the visible. Framing additions, exterior decks, and floors from subfloor repair to the last transition strip.

How we work

Steady is fast.

Fast, good, and cheap should always be competing with each other. Our job is to make them get along.

Plan before we park

The scope, the materials, and the order of trades are settled before the first truck shows up. Efficiency is decided on paper, not on the jobsite.

In and out

Your house or your storefront is a construction site for as few days as the work allows. Crews show up in rhythm, and nobody is waiting on anybody.

Open walls, same-day news

When we find something behind the drywall, you get a photo and a price that day, not a line on the final invoice.

Clean when we leave

Done right, inspected, swept. We don't build anything we wouldn't put in our own houses, and we don't leave anything we'd have to come back for.

Work

Every project, before and after. Drag the handle.

Commercial

Coffee shop

Columbus · empty shell to opening

Trenched the slab for plumbing, built the counter and back bar, floors, lighting, a plant wall, and the bathroom from the studs. The owner handled the macramé.

Commercial

Hibachi restaurant

Columbus · 1990s fast food to modern

Pulled out the old counter and rails, new tile and flooring, blacked-out ceiling, painted brick, new entry glass. The bones stayed; nothing else did.

Turnkey office

Groups Recovery

Multiple locations · shell to move-in day

Three offices, two group rooms, and a reception area in each building, matched to the same dimensions, colors, and carpet so every location feels like the same place. Furniture built at our warehouse and staged on site. Pictures on the walls when they got the keys.

Turnkey means turnkey

You get keys. We keep the headaches.

Most contractors hand you a finished shell and a list of people to call next. We run the whole thing: design, permits, the trades, the drywall, the paint, and through our sister company, the office furniture and cubicles, built in our warehouse and installed before you walk in.

That's how we delivered matching clinics for Groups Recovery and how we'd deliver your restaurant, your office, or your rental.
