FAQ's
Do you handle both residential and light commercial work?
Yes. Our core focus is residential construction, and we also take on light commercial projects that fit our crews and capabilities.
Can you help with design, or do I need my own plans?
We can work from your existing plans or help you refine a floor plan and design before construction. We will tell you early on what your project needs.
Do you pull the permits, or is that my responsibility?
We manage the permitting process for you, coordinating with the City of Kalamazoo and local jurisdictions so your project stays compliant from day one.
How do you price a project?
After we understand your scope, we provide a detailed estimate. Depending on the project, we use fixed-bid or cost-plus pricing and explain the trade-offs clearly.
Will I get a written estimate before work starts?
Always. You will receive a written estimate and scope of work before any construction begins, so there are no surprises.
How long does a typical remodel or addition take?
Timelines depend on size and complexity, but we provide a realistic schedule up front and keep you updated if anything shifts.
Who manages the subcontractors on my project?
We do. As your general contractor, we hire, schedule, and supervise every trade, so you deal with us rather than juggling multiple vendors.
How does Ledbetter Construction, LLC keep projects on schedule and on budget?
Through active project management. We track milestones, sequence the trades, coordinate inspections, and flag potential issues before they become costly delays.
Will I have a single point of contact?
Yes. You will have one accountable point of contact throughout your project, so questions get answered quickly and nothing falls through the cracks.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
We stand behind our workmanship and will walk you through our warranty terms and what is covered before the project wraps.
Can I stay in my home during a remodel or addition?
In most cases, yes. We plan the work to minimize disruption, contain dust and debris, and keep your living areas as functional and safe as possible.
How do you handle changes once the project is underway?
We use a clear change-order process. If you want to adjust the scope, we document the cost and schedule impact in writing before moving forward.
How do deposits and payments work?
We use a straightforward payment schedule tied to project milestones. The details are spelled out in your contract before any money changes hands.
Do you build custom homes from the ground up?
Yes. Our new home build team takes you from blueprint to keys, managing the foundation, framing, finishes, and every phase in between.
How do I get started?
Reach out to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your goals, look at the site or plans, and outline the next steps toward your build.
