Yes. We handle the entire permitting process with the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. We ensure all projects meet local zoning and building codes before we break ground.

While our hub is Lexington, we serve all of Fayette County and the surrounding "doughnut" counties, including Jessamine, Scott, Woodford, Clark, and Bourbon.

Fayette County is known for its heavy clay and karst geology, which can shift and damage foundations. We conduct thorough site assessments and use proper soil stabilization techniques and reinforced footings to ensure your structure stands firm against local ground movement.
Yes, but with precautions. While Kentucky winters can be unpredictable, we can continue interior work, framing, and even some masonry by using heated enclosures and additives. We plan our schedules to ensure weather-sensitive tasks are completed before the deep freeze sets in.

Don't wait for a leak to appear. We offer free roof and exterior inspections. We will climb up, inspect for hail hits or wind-lifted shingles, and provide you with a photo report so you can decide if filing an insurance claim is the right move.
Not necessarily. For many residential projects like additions or remodels, we can handle the design in-house or partner with a draftsman. For complex commercial or custom home builds, we can recommend reputable local architects we frequently work with to get your plans drawn up.
Our schedule varies based on the season and current workload. Typically, we can start emergency repairs immediately. For larger renovations or builds, there is usually a lead time of 4-6 weeks for design, permitting, and material procurement. We will give you a realistic start date during your consultation.
From the first shovel in the ground to the final inspection, we handle it all. Secure your spot on our schedule today and start building the future you deserve.
