What Is a General Contractor?
Seattle general contractors are responsible for coordinating and supervising a construction or remodeling project, whether you are constructing a new building or doing simple bathroom remodels. They secure the necessary, proper permits for your project; hire subcontractors such as carpenters, electricians, and plumbers; create a schedule and work with other team members to make sure that the work is done well, safely, and finished on time.
General contractors are the glue that holds new construction and remodels together. They are responsible for ensuring that the work is done so that it will not void product warranties or guarantees for their clients. They also must be licensed and have workers’ compensation and liability insurance.
Like a project manager, they must have a wide knowledge base and have experience in the construction field. If a roof, window, or major appliance is not installed correctly, then the general contractor would affect cost estimates by causing financial losses for the client.
For this reason, you should choose the most reliable in the industry, whether you need house builders for your new Seattle custom home or are commissioning bathroom remodels or kitchen remodels. Going with Home Care Contractors ensures you have the quality craftsmanship, experience, and successful outcomes you deserve for every home project.
What is the Difference Between a General Contractor and a Project Manager?
While a general contractor and a project manager seem similar, they have separate responsibilities. General contractors in Seattle work on the physical construction of each project. Meanwhile, the project manager oversees home builders or remodeling projects. The project manager is also the one that joins in the first meeting with clients and makes sure everything aligns with the agreed-upon timeline and budget.
Essentially, a project manager oversees and coordinates these tasks. They have the ability to identify and tackle potential risks or problems while finding viable solutions to keep the project running smoothly.
At HCC, our Seattle, WA project managers have the extensive knowledge required to handle all aspects of construction services. They will communicate with you from the very beginning of the project and bridge the gap between you, the general contractor, and subcontractors so that your goals are met.
With our project managers working out all those fine details for your remodeling project or new home, you can rest assured that everything will go according to plan with Home Care Contractors. Our connections in the Seattle area construction industry will create the smoothest possible interactions while delivering the highest quality results.
Residential Contractors
Are you looking to build your custom home or update your existing home to give you more space, updated appliances, and a better layout? Is there a room you want to remodel or add to your home? Then let Home Care Contractors help you with your next project. We specialize in bathroom, kitchen, basement, and backyard decking construction and remodels.
Home remodeling projects can increase the value of your home. They can also turn it into a place you love to live in by improving the efficiency of the layout, upgrading outdated features, and making it feel like the dream home you’ve always wanted. Whether you want to remodel one room or all of them, there are many possibilities that a residential contractor can help bring to life.
Kitchen remodels can include replacing your flooring, updating your cabinets, and changing the layout of your kitchen to conform to the more flexible “triangle rule” where the sink, refrigerator, and oven form a triangle. Open shelves make a smaller kitchen feel larger, and updating your appliances can improve your cooking and baking experiences.
As for bathrooms, this space was of little concern to homeowners decades ago. They simply weren’t a big selling point when real estate agents showed homes, but now, homeowners want bigger bathrooms with modern features like double vanities and stylish cabinetry.
A bathroom renovation can vary in cost depending on your bathroom design style and what you want to complete for the project. Some remodeling items that will affect your cost include plumbing upgrades, light and appliance fixtures, installing new tile or flooring, adding cabinets to optimize the space you’re currently working with, replacing, or expanding countertops.
A plumbing upgrade is any modification that we need to make to an existing plumbing system within your home or commercial building. Some of the more valuable plumbing upgrades to consider for your home or building can include:
Updating your pipes if you live in an older home. Older homes tend to have lead, clay, cast iron, or galvanized pipes, which can affect your water quality and lead to corrosion.
Installing a low-flow energy efficient toilet can help save your water bill. In addition to low-flow toilets, you could also install low-flow showerheads and faucets.
If you want to expand your bathroom, we can take space from an adjacent room to add a shower or tub or larger countertop to an existing, small bathroom. If you have the space and are currently living in a home with one bathroom, adding a full luxury bathroom to the master suite is one of the more profitable upgrades you can make for your home.
If a full bathroom is not an option, a half bath that has a sink and toilet can reduce wait time and create functionality in a small space. We use a crew of knowledgeable and experienced plumbers and electricians to complete your dream bathroom down to the last details. We hope to build long term relationships with our customers, so your project is of utmost importance to us.
Commercial Construction
Seattle is a great place to do business. It is the home of some of the most globally recognized companies as well as small businesses and research facilities. No matter the type of company you have, you can expand existing property or build a brand new structure in a new location with Home Care Contractors.
Our general contractors hold anyone they hire to the highest standard in order to create a foundation of trust for all potential clients as we continue to build long-term relationships with repeat clients.
No matter the age of the building you own, there are thousands of opportunities for it to fail. Our general contractors are here to help you keep your valuable investments secure. If you have a compromised building envelope, our knowledgeable and experienced engineers can provide you with a comprehensive plan to restore your assets to envelope integrity.
If your real estate has experienced a significant degradation of structural integrity, our general contractors are equipped to handle the shoring, restoration, and repair of these major structural elements.
If your commercial property includes tenant-occupied buildings, our general contractors and expert craftsmen can improve your rentals, bringing value to any commercial improvements made. We take pride in the work we do and want you to feel that same pride in your commercial properties after we have completed the job.
Our professional general contractors will help you meet your business goals by improving the appearance of your business, helping you with energy efficiency, and even improving employee productivity.

Are There Any Cheap Projects I Can Do to Help My Home or Commercial Building?
There are plenty of projects you can have your general contractor do that will be an upgrade for your home.

When discussing your home remodel with your contractor, you might want to discuss the possibility of a dedicated laundry room. With the space, you can install a washer and dryer, keeping them out of the main living area.
