The general contractor is the manager/lead of your renovation project. This means the general contractor is responsible for the final outcome. This includes:

• Working with an architect to build the project as set forth in the plans and so that it meets the local building codes
• Selecting the sub-contractors to provide each of the special services needed for the project (such as electricians, plumbers, painters, cabinetry, floor coverings, etc…)
• Coordinating the scheduling of these subcontractors and ensures that they are building to the standards set forth in the plans

DoubleDiamond goes a few steps further than many other general contractors in Westchester.

• True general contractors are hard to find, but DoubleDiamond delivers a true “start-to-finish” experience. From architectural considerations, interior design and construction, to elite project management and master craftsmanship, DoubleDiamond is with you through every step of the way. 
• Architecture – Architects are expensive. They charge hundreds of dollars an hour to answer even the most basic questions. Our 30 years of experience allows us to consult on many architectural matters, which saves you money up front. In addition, you will be better prepared to talk with a traditional architect when the time comes, which will make the architecture process more efficient (read: less expensive)
• Interior Design – DoubleDiamond has designed hundreds of kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and custom interior spaces. Let us inspire you with fresh design ideas to create your perfect living space. If you have a designer you’d like us to work with, we are amazing partners and will carry through the design vision with the utmost care and craftsmanship.

Absolutely. All consultations are completely free of charge and there is no obligation to work with us.

Actually, yes you can. However, there many good reasons to hire a professional general contractor:

1. Accountability – Your general contractor takes away the headaches of making sure things go smoothly. They source and hire subcontractors, manage subcontractor payments, schedule work in the most efficient order, handle permits and inspections, and so much more. Having a partner you can trust to manage all these responsibilities is vital to the success of your residential or commercial project.
2. Saves you money – An experienced general contractor will do the job the right way the first time and avoid costly do-overs and corrections. Also, general contractors are able to get better pricing from the subcontractors you will need to work with, so your overall labor and material costs are lower when you use a general contractor.
3. Saves you time – Project management is a professional skill that goes far beyond just putting dates on a calendar. An experienced general contractor keeps your project on time and on budget by identifying and resolving problems quickly. In the skilled hands of an experienced general contractor, even a perceived setback will not derail the completion of your project.
