We manage remodeling, renovation and new construction projects across Pittsburgh and nearby communities, coordinating trades, permits and schedules from design through completion so you get durable, well detailed results that hold resale value.
What our general contractor service includes
As a general contractor we take responsibility for the whole project, not just one trade. That means we scope the work, create a coordinated schedule, hire and supervise trade partners, handle permitting, and manage quality control from demolition to final finishes. Typical projects include kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions, siding and roof repair, deck building and complete home renovations.
We work with homeowners, HOAs, property managers, landlords, real estate investors and small business owners who want projects completed with attention to design, durability and resale value.

Our process
We follow a predictable process so you know what to expect. Below is how a typical project flows when you engage Quality Construction Group.
- Initial review and scope. We meet to review goals, property constraints and priorities. This usually includes measurements, condition assessment and an outline of required trades and permits.
- Design and selections. We work with you to choose materials and systems that balance durability, aesthetics and budget. For kitchen projects we coordinate layout, cabinets and appliance planning to avoid surprises. Learn more about kitchen layout considerations on our kitchen layouts topic page.
- Permits and preparation. We prepare permit documents and submit applications when required. Because local permitting can vary, we follow established procedures to reduce delays. For a detailed overview see our permit process topic.
- Site prep and demolition. We prepare a clean, safe work area, control dust and protect existing finishes where possible before demolition begins.
- Construction and trade coordination. Framing, mechanical, electrical and plumbing work proceed on a coordinated schedule. Our project managers sequence trades to limit downtime and keep the project on track.
- Finishes and inspections. Final finishes, trim, painting and systems commissioning follow inspections as required by local authorities.
- Final walkthrough and documentation. We complete a walkthrough, provide care instructions for new materials, and deliver any warranty or product documentation you need.
Pro tip: Early decisions about fixed items like window locations, stair layout and utility routing reduce costly changes during construction, and help keep the schedule steady.
Watch out: Matching existing materials in older Pittsburgh homes can be challenging. When period accuracy matters, plan for lead times and allow the project team to source compatible materials rather than improvise on the job.
What good work looks like
Good general contracting shows in three ways: careful site management, durable assemblies and clear communication. On site you should see tidy work areas, labeled materials and staged deliveries. Structurally, framing, flashing and moisture management follow accepted building practices so finishes last. Communicatively, a project manager tracks changes, documents decisions and provides clear status updates so there are no surprises.
Common problems we solve
- Incomplete or conflicting trade work that delays inspections
- Moisture intrusion around windows, decks and siding that requires coordinated repair
- Outdated layouts that limit function and resale value
- Uncoordinated schedules that extend construction time and increase cost
- Permit issues and code compliance challenges in older homes

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical remodel take?
Timelines depend on scope. A small kitchen or bathroom remodel may take several weeks, while whole home renovations or additions can take multiple months. We prepare a project schedule during the planning phase and update it when selections are finalized and permits are issued.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We prepare permit documentation, submit applications and schedule required inspections. Permit timelines vary by municipality, so we include permitting as a formal step in our project plan.
Will we need to move out during construction?
That depends on the project. Many renovations are completed with homeowners in place, but work that affects multiple systems or creates safety risks may require temporary relocation. We discuss options during the initial review and outline ways to limit disruption.
How do you manage subcontractors and schedules?
We manage trade coordination through a single project manager who sequences work, orders long lead items and enforces quality standards. This reduces gaps between trades and helps keep inspections on time.
Do you offer estimates and cost planning?
We provide estimates and assist with budget planning as part of the initial scope and design phase. Estimates are based on selected materials, scope and site conditions, and we document assumptions so you can compare options accurately.
