General Contractor in Arcadia, NY
Farmhouses on the drumlin roads, ranches along Route 88, older two-story homes at the edge of Newark. One TGM project lead runs the trades, the permit and the schedule so you are not chasing five companies.
When one trade is not enough
Most people call a general contractor when a project touches more than one trade. These are the Arcadia jobs where that happens.
A farmhouse with three problems at once
The bath needs redoing, the floor under it is soft and the wiring is older than you are. Plumber, electrician and carpenter all have to work in order. We set that order.
Storm or water damage claim
Wind off the open fields, an ice dam, a burst pipe in a cold back room. We document the damage, write a repair scope your adjuster can follow and do the rebuild.
Settling an estate house
A family home out on a country road that needs repairs before it can sell or be lived in again. We walk it, list what matters and get it done in one plan.
You work in Newark all day
You cannot leave work every time a trade shows up. One contact, updates and photos, and the crew lets themselves in on the plan you set.
Drumlins, a bog and old farm lots
The Town of Arcadia was set off from Lyons in 1825. It covers about 52 square miles of rolling drumlins, from Brantling Hill in the northeast down to the Zurich Bog, its lowest point. The Village of Newark sits inside it, but most of the town is farm country and hamlets like Fairville and Hydesville.
That spread matters on a remodel. A house on a drumlin and a house near wet bottomland settle differently and take on water differently. Farm homes were added onto over generations, so one wall can hide three eras of framing. A general contractor earns the fee by seeing those things before the trades start.
- Framing and floors checked before finish trades
- Wet basements and sills dealt with first
- Old wiring found and replaced, not buried
How an Arcadia project begins
Know which side of the line you are on
Outside the village, the Town of Arcadia code office at 201 Frey Street in Newark issues permits. Inside the village, Newark has its own office. Your tax bill tells you which.
List every room you want touched
Even the small ones. A closet or a hallway can change who needs to be on site and when.
Walk it with us
We look at the panel, the water heater, the basement and the attic, because those decide what the visible work costs.
Get one written scope
Each trade’s work is spelled out line by line in one document, with one price. Changes are priced before they happen.
We file and schedule
We submit the permit, book inspections and line up the trades so nobody is waiting on someone else.
What a general contractor handles here
The Arcadia code office
The town’s code enforcement office keeps morning hours on Frey Street and asks for the permit application before covered work starts. It also posts the truss and pre-engineered lumber notice that New York requires for some residential work. We fill out what applies, submit it and meet the inspector on site.
Who is on your job
Carpentry is done by our own carpenters. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC and drywall finishing go to trades we have worked with and trust, and we are the one who answers for all of it. You call one number.
Insurance claim work
For a claim, we photograph everything before it is torn out, write the scope in line items an adjuster can match and keep you in the loop on any supplement. You choose the contractor, not the insurance company.
Where else we work nearby
Arcadia borders Sodus, Lyons, Marion and Palmyra, and we work all of them. If you are in the village, see our general contractor page for Newark.
Single-trade work in Arcadia
Before you hire
I live in Fairville. Who issues my permit?
The Town of Arcadia code office at 201 Frey Street. Fairville, Hydesville, Marbletown and Mud Mills are hamlets of the town, not villages, so they all go through the town.
Do you use subcontractors?
Yes, for trades like electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Carpentry is our own crew. Either way, we manage everyone and stand behind the whole job.
Can you work with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We write a line-item scope, send photos and talk to the adjuster directly if you want us to.
My farmhouse was added onto several times. Is that a problem?
No, it is common out here. It just means we open things carefully and check how each section was framed before we tie new work into it.
Can I do some of the work myself?
Sometimes, like painting at the end. We will put it in the written scope so everyone knows who is doing what.
