General Contractor in Pittsburgh

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.

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.

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.
