Building in New Lebanon
We treat a New Lebanon job the same as any other: drawings first, then dirt, then framing, then finish.
We run out of Gratis, close enough to New Lebanon that it is regular territory rather than an occasional trip. A crew that is not spending hours in a truck starts earlier and stays later, which shows up in the schedule.
One team handles excavation, foundation, framing and finish, so nothing gets lost between trades.
The order of work is consistent: drawings, site, structure, finish. That does not vary from one town to the next.
Call and we will talk through what building in New Lebanon actually involves.
What building here involves
The housing around here falls into a few groups and each asks for something different. Post-war homes on established streets usually have sound structure and dated systems. Newer subdivision houses often have the reverse: current mechanicals wrapped around builder-grade finishes and a layout that fights how people live.
The weather swing here is wide enough that materials move noticeably. Detailing has to allow for that rather than assume a static building.

Submissions, revisions and inspection scheduling all sit with us. Local familiarity here is worth more than it sounds.
Being close matters more than people expect. A crew not spending two hours a day driving starts earlier, stays later, and can come back the same afternoon when something needs attention.

Before anything starts you get a written scope: inclusions, exclusions, the discoveries we anticipate, and the process for approving a change. Most disputes in this trade trace back to a quote that never said any of that.
You will know the build sequence and roughly how long each stage takes, along with an honest list of what might push it. Selections made late are the delay we see most often.

The phone gets answered by someone who can actually speak to your job. That is the whole policy.
A job ends when the client agrees it has ended. That means a walkthrough, a written list of anything outstanding, and the work to clear it.

What we put in writing
The metal roofing we install is warranted for forty years; the dimensional shingles for thirty. Those warranties assume correct installation, which is the part we control.
We cover our workmanship directly, and we keep the schedule light enough that honoring it is always possible.
New Lebanon questions
What area do you cover?
We work a seventy-mile radius from Gratis, Ohio, which covers Montgomery, Greene, Warren, Butler, Preble and Miami counties.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry the coverage required for residential construction in Ohio and can provide certificates before work begins.
What warranty comes with a standing seam metal roof?
The standing seam metal we install carries a forty-year warranty. Dimensional shingles carry a thirty-year warranty.
Who is actually on site during my build?
Our own crew handles the core work. Samuel is on site through the build, not just at the start and the end.
How do you handle changes once we have started?
Changes get written down, priced and approved before they happen. Nothing gets built off a hallway conversation.
Can you remodel an older home, or only build new?
Both. A good share of our work is remodeling houses that were built well and are worth keeping.
Do you give a written scope before work starts?
Always. It states what is included, what is excluded, what we expect to find once things are opened up, and how a change gets priced and approved. A one-page quote is how disputes start.
