Our Subcontractors
One of the key reasons to choose Noble Renovation is that we have a strong team of subcontractors whom we have built strong relationships with over the years. We work with more than 30 professional and fully insured contracting businesses, including engineers, plumbers, interior trim carpenters, framers, masons, tile setters, roofers, painters, interior cleaning personnel, and many more.
I want to emphasize the importance of a quality labor and vendor supply base that comes along with hiring a general contractor or remodeling company. We do not use subcontractors if they are not a legitimate business or fully insured. I have spent several years building my subcontractor base…and I really like our “guys”. Our subcontractors are trustworthy, reliable, hardworking, knowledgeable, skilled, experienced, and friendly. Each of them understands how I want things done in our process, and they also know with great confidence they will be paid on time every time when their work is completed. Having access to these talented subcontractors enables us to tackle many different types of projects, at different locations, and deliver them to our customers in a very smooth and efficient manner.
