Built for the river
Building in the Thousand Islands isn't the same as building anywhere else. Lots are tight, access can be tricky, and the wind and freeze-thaw off the St. Lawrence are hard on anything you bolt to the outside of a house. We build for that, with flashing and trim that shed water, insulation that earns its keep through a North Country winter, and materials that take the cold without splitting.
A big share of our work is for cottage and second-home owners who live somewhere else most of the year. We're set up for it. We schedule the heavy work in the off-season when the place is empty, lock up tight when we leave each day, and run the whole job by phone and email. You can manage a full remodel from three states away and know exactly what's happening, because we tell you. That kind of lock-up-and-leave trust is the whole reason out-of-town owners keep calling us back.
What it costs
General contracting covers everything from a one-room refresh to a whole-house build, so there's no single number. A small project sits at one end; a full kitchen or bath remodel runs higher; an addition or a top-to-bottom renovation is the biggest job we take on.
What moves the price is the size of the job, how much structural work it needs, how far you take the kitchens and baths, and the finishes you pick. We give you a written, itemized quote up front so you can see where every dollar goes, and we'll tell you straight where it's worth spending and where you can save. Honest quotes with no buried fees are how we've earned the work, and how we keep it.

General Contracting in Chippewa Bay: common questions
What areas do you cover?
We're based in Clayton, NY and serve the Thousand Islands and Jefferson County, including Alexandria Bay, Cape Vincent, Wellesley Island, and the smaller river towns nearby. We also take work near Watertown. If you're not sure your spot is in range, just call us at (315) 350-3357 and ask.
Are you insured?
Yes, we're fully insured. That protects you and your property while we're on the job, and it's something you should confirm with any contractor before you sign. We're owner-operated and local, so you're dealing with the people doing the work, not a call center, and we're happy to talk through coverage before we start.
Can you manage my project if I live out of state?
Yes, and a lot of our clients do. We work with second-home and cottage owners all the time. We schedule the heavy work in the off-season, send photos and regular updates, lock the house up tight when we leave, and run the whole job by phone and email so you can manage a full remodel without driving up to check on it.
