Our house needs a mix of work: new roof, a bathroom, some structural repair
Quote from soumits on 1. October 2026, 0:44Hey. Our house needs a mix of work: new roof, a bathroom, some structural repair in the basement and a deck. I'd rather hire one general contractor to coordinate it all than chase five different trades. Does anyone have experience with a GC who handles varied projects like this?

We hired Alta as our Seattle General Contractor for a similar list: bathroom, basement repair and a new deck. They sequenced the work so the structural repair happened first and nothing got torn out twice. Having one point of contact for everything was worth it on its own. Honestly, ask about sequencing when you interview contractors, bad sequencing is where money disappears. Everything came in close to the original plan, and the house feels solid again.
