By Coleman Build – Los Angeles Home Remodeling Experts

If you’re planning a home remodel, kitchen upgrade, or building an ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit), you’ve probably come across the term “general contractor.” But what exactly does a general contractor do—and why is it so important to hire the right one?

At Coleman Build, we’re a residential construction company based in Los Angeles, and we specialize in home remodels, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and ADUs. In this post, we’ll explain what a

general contractor does and how we help bring your project to life.

A general contractor (GC) is the person or company responsible for managing your entire construction or remodeling project. Think of a GC like a project manager for your home—they handle all the details so you don’t have to.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what we do at Coleman Build as your general contractor:

Planning and Permits: Before the work even starts, we help with:

• Planning the scope of your project
• Working with designers or architects (if needed)
• Pulling the necessary permits from the city
• Making sure everything meets building codes

Hiring and Managing Subcontractors - We work with trusted electricians, plumbers, framers, painters, and more. Instead of you hiring 10 different people, we coordinate and supervise everyone for you.

Scheduling at Work - We create a timeline and make sure everything gets done in the right order. That way, your remodel runs smoothly and stays on schedule.

Budget and Materials - We help you stay on budget, order materials, and suggest quality options based on your style and needs.

On-Site Supervision - We regularly check in on the work and make sure it's being done correctly, safely,

and up to code.

Inspections and Final Touches - Once the work is done, we handle final inspections and make sure everything is finished to your satisfaction.

Taking on a remodel or building an ADU is a big investment. When you hire a licensed and experienced GC like Coleman Build, you get:

• One point of contact for the entire job
• Peace of mind that everything is being done the right way
• A better chance of staying on time and on budget
• Less stress and better results

If you’re in the Los Angeles area and thinking about a kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrade, whole-home renovation, or ADU, we’d love to help.
