One contract.
One team accountable for all of it.
Permits, trades, materials, schedule, site safety and closeout, managed under a single agreement. You deal with one contractor. We deal with everyone else.
Hiring five trades yourself saves money right up until two of them disagree about whose problem it is.
As your general contractor, Alderwood is responsible for the whole build: scheduling, sequencing, inspections, quality, and the conversations between trades that decide whether a project finishes on time. When something needs a decision, you hear it from us, with options.

Most budget surprises come from drawings that were not quite finished. We review your plans before we price them and list allowances, exclusions and open questions right in the quote.
It can make a number look less tidy. It also makes it the number you actually pay.

A schedule the trades actually follow
Framing, rough-ins, inspections, insulation, drywall, finishes. Each step depends on the last. We build the sequence, book the trades and inspections, and keep the site ready for the next crew.
You get regular updates on progress and upcoming decisions, not a surprise when something slips.
Talk about your schedule
Closeout is part of the job
Deficiency lists that never close are one of the most common complaints about contractors. We track deficiencies throughout the build, walk the finished project with you, and close the list before we call it done.

Pricing options
Fixed price, or cost plus with a clear fee.
Both are common ways to contract a build. The right one depends on how complete your design is and how much flexibility you need.

What does a general contractor do?
A general contractor takes responsibility for delivering the whole project: hiring and scheduling trades, ordering materials, managing permits and inspections, keeping the site safe, and making sure the finished work matches the plans.
Do you work with my architect or designer?
Yes. We build from existing drawings, and bringing us in during design helps catch cost and buildability issues before plans are finalized.
Fixed price or cost plus, which is better?
Fixed price suits complete drawings and firm selections. Cost plus suits projects where scope is still moving. We recommend the one that fits where your project is today and explain why.
How are changes handled?
Every change is priced in writing, including its effect on the schedule, and approved by you before the work goes ahead.
Who handles permits and inspections?
We do. We coordinate applications with your municipality, book the required inspections and make sure the work is ready for them.
What types of projects do you take on?
Residential renovations, additions and new construction, plus select light commercial work. If you are not sure your project is a fit, send us the details and we will tell you.
