Whole projects, one crew
General Contractor in Pittsburgh
One contractor responsible for the entire job. One crew, one written quote, one person who answers the phone. That is what hiring us gets you.
What a general contractor should be
A general contractor is supposed to take the whole project off your plate. In practice, plenty of them just hand it to a stack of subcontractors and hope the schedule holds together. You still end up chasing people.
We do it differently. When you hire Dogwood Builders, you hire the owner. The same crew runs your project from demo to final walkthrough. We handle the order of operations, the plumbing and electrical, the drywall and the finish work, and the cleanup. You make the decisions. We handle the rest.
Most of our work comes from referrals, because we finish what we start and stand behind it. That only works when the person who quoted your job is the person doing it.

One crew beats juggling five
Here is what a real general contractor saves you. On a bathroom or kitchen remodel you might otherwise need a demo crew, a plumber, an electrician, a tile setter, a drywaller and a painter. Six trades, six schedules, six phone numbers, and nobody responsible when one of them does not show up.
We run all of it. The trades arrive in the right order. The plumber is not waiting on framing. The painter is not working around unfinished tile. When something needs a decision, you call one number and get the owner.
That is the whole point of hiring a general contractor. You get your finished project, not a part-time job managing a job site.
Licensed, insured, and local
Dogwood Builders is a licensed Pennsylvania contractor and carries insurance. We are based on Pittsburgh's North Side and work throughout the North Hills, including Ross, McCandless, Wexford, Cranberry Township and Sewickley.
Licensed and insured is not a slogan. It is what protects you and your home if something goes wrong on the job. We are glad to walk through the details when we come out to quote. Ask us. A contractor worth hiring will have a straight answer.
Our process
How a project goes
Contact & phone consultation
Call or text us about your project. We talk through your needs and your vision, and give you a ballpark.
On-site visit & quote
We come out, look at the space, finalize the details with you, and put a clear written quote in your hands.
Construction
One crew, start to finish. We protect your home, keep the site clean, and keep you updated the whole way.
Final walkthrough
When it's done, we walk it together and run the punch list until you are fully satisfied.
Bathrooms are what we do best
We are a full remodeling contractor, but if you ask what we are known for, the answer is bathrooms. From a worn-out hall bath to a full primary suite, it is the work we do most and the work that brings in the most referrals.
So if your project is a bathroom, you are not hiring a generalist who does a couple a year. You are hiring the specialty. Take a look at our bathroom remodeling work, or if it is a different room, just tell us what you have in mind.
Common questions
General contractor questions, answered
What does hiring a general contractor actually get me? +
One point of contact and one crew responsible for the whole job. You are not lining up a tile setter, a plumber, an electrician and a painter yourself, then hoping the schedule holds. We run all of it and you deal with the owner the whole way.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical too? +
Yes. A real remodel touches plumbing, electrical, drywall and finish work, and we coordinate all of it so the project moves in the right order and nothing gets missed.
Do you do new construction or just remodels? +
We focus on interior remodeling and home improvement, from a single room to a whole-house refresh. We are not a ground-up new-construction builder. What we do, we do well.
Bathrooms are listed as your specialty. Do you still take general work? +
Bathrooms are what we do most and it shows in the work. But we are a full remodeling contractor, so kitchens, flooring, trim, drywall, doors and multi-room projects are all on the table.
Are you licensed and insured? +
Yes. Dogwood Builders is a licensed Pennsylvania contractor and carries insurance. We are glad to share details when we come out to quote.
How do I get a quote? +
