When our Finger Lakes area clients are looking for a building partner to bring their ideas to fruition, especially in the high performance building space, we bring our highly-skilled carpenters and project managers on site. We can work with clients who already have an Architect on board, or if you are looking for design services we also offer them in house. Our General Contracting team takes on projects that are non-timber frame, timber frame, or hybrids. Our main criteria is the location of your build, if we align on ethos, and if we think we can build something beautiful for you.
About General Contracting in the Finger Lakes:
