Common general contractor jobs in Lakewood
Whatever the job, describe it once — we match you with verified local pros.
Kitchen
Managing a kitchen remodel end to end — demolition, trades, inspections, and finish work. Ask who is on site day to day and how change orders are priced before you sign.
Get matched for kitchen →Bathroom
Remodeling a bathroom, where plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing meet in a small space. Waterproofing details behind the tile are what separate a ten-year bathroom from a two-year one.
Get matched for bathroom →Addition
Adding finished square footage — foundation through roof. This is permit-heavy work; the contractor should walk you through the approval timeline before promising a start date.
Get matched for addition →Whole home
A full renovation across multiple rooms and systems. References from projects of similar scope matter more here than for any other job type.
Get matched for whole home →Other remodel
Basements, garage conversions, structural changes, and everything between. Describe the outcome you want and let the pro scope the path to it.

Remodels are where unlicensed contractors do the most damage - deposits taken, work abandoned, no bond to recover from. A state license means there is a real, accountable business behind the bid.

Do I need a permit for my remodel?
Structural changes, electrical, plumbing, and additions almost always require permits; cosmetic work usually does not. A contractor who suggests skipping permits is transferring risk to you — unpermitted work surfaces at sale time and can void insurance coverage.
How do I choose a general contractor?
Match their recent projects to your project's scope, verify them in the public record, and ask exactly who manages the site day to day. Then get the payment schedule in writing — progress payments tied to milestones, never a large sum up front.
What determines the cost of a remodel?
Scope and finish level dominate — moving plumbing or walls costs multiples of replacing what is in place, and material choices swing budgets widely. Age of the home matters too: opening old walls has a way of adding scope.
