Capabilities

How Hartwell Contracting runs a project

Most construction problems are management problems. Our job is to keep yours from having any: a clear scope, a tight schedule, and one team accountable for both.

Licensed and insured

NC General Contractor #GC-84177. General liability and workers compensation cover every trade on your site.

A written scope before any work

You approve an itemized proposal with a fixed price. Changes happen only in writing, with your sign-off.

One point of contact

We hire and supervise every subcontractor. You call (919) 555-0131 and talk to the person actually running your job.

Permits and inspections handled

We pull the permits, meet the inspectors, and close out the paperwork so your project is right on record.

A job site you can live with

Floors protected, dust contained, and tools packed up at the end of every day.

Common questions

What Raleigh owners ask before they hire us

What does it cost to hire a general contractor?

It depends on scope, but you will always know the number before we start. We walk the site, then send an itemized fixed-price proposal at no charge. Small remodels and large builds sit far apart on cost, which is exactly why we put every figure in writing first. Call (919) 555-0131 for a real number for your project.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. NC General Contractor #GC-84177. We carry general liability and workers compensation, and every subcontractor on your site is covered under our supervision.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We prepare the paperwork, pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and close out the record with the city when the work is done.

Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?

Both. Our crew handles carpentry and general trades. Licensed subcontractors handle electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and all of them work under our one contract with you.

How long will my project take?

Your proposal includes a written schedule with a start date and a realistic finish date. If anything moves, you hear it from us first, not from an empty job site.

How do payments work?

A modest deposit holds your start date. After that you pay in draws tied to completed milestones, never large sums up front.

How soon can you look at my project?

Usually within a few days. Call (919) 555-0131 or send an estimate request and we will set up a site walk anywhere in Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest.
