The job
General Contractors work in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor holds a steady base of general contracting demand. The city's housing stock is old, much of it built before the 1960s, and older houses generate the kind of work that needs a general contractor rather than a single trade: additions, structural repairs, whole house renovations, kitchens and baths opened up and rebuilt. Washtenaw County's building department and the city's own permit process keep a visible pipeline of projects moving through Ann Arbor and the townships around it. The firms competing for that work range from small owner operators who run one or two crews to established companies with a showroom and a design staff. Franchise remodelers also work this market, particularly on kitchens and baths. Searches come from homeowners planning a project, from landlords maintaining rental property near the university, and from buyers who have just closed on a house and want work priced before they move in.
