Why hire a general contractor?

Lots of people think they can manage their own construction project. After all, how hard can it be? Here's what you get with Scarlett Construction as your general contractor:

• Protection against price fluctuations.  Once we bid on a job, we are responsible for any material cost increases.  Therefore, we are motivated to get your job done promptly.
• Attention to detail.  Any construction project entails hundreds, if not thousands, of details.  We make sure everything is done correctly.  Here are just a few of the details we cover:
  
  • Review architectural plans and handle revisions
  • Permits and inspections
  • Finding and recommending low-cost, high-value options
• Experts on a budget. It can be difficult to choose specialists - plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, etc. If you hire the person with the lowest bid, you may not get quality work. And if you hire the most expensive person you may be paying too much. We have a network of experts we trust, and we have worked hard to develop a relationship with them. They value our continued business, and are motivated to do quality work at a reasonable price.
• Handle the unexpected. With the years of experience in the crew, we have encountered all kinds of unexpected issues - from unforeseen structural complications to sudden hailstorms.  We can generally handle unforeseen issues with minimal impact on the project time-line or budget.
• Comprehensive warranty. If you manage the job yourself, you may get manufacturers' warranties for individual components. With Scarlett, you get a warranty for the entire project.

We can usually manage your project for about the same price you'd pay, and we save you the hassle.
