Built right.
Managed end to end.

Yes. Golden Gables General Contractor LLC holds a Florida Certified General Contractor license (License No. CGC1538172) and carries general liability coverage and workers’ comp. That protects your home and our crew if anything goes wrong on site. Any contractor who won't share this info is a red flag. Bonding documentation is available too, if your project needs it.

We start with a walkthrough of your property, then send a written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, and finish allowances. You'll know upfront what's included and what could add cost, like surprises behind walls or under floors. No price changes without a conversation first. If budget is tight, we'll tell you honestly where to save without cutting corners.

We give you a realistic timeline based on the scope, current Central Florida permit turnaround, and material lead times — not a best-case guess. We'll walk you through the major phases so you know what's next. Weather, inspections, and custom orders can shift things, and we'll keep you posted if they do. No surprises, good or bad.

Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and addition work needs a permit through your county or city; cosmetic updates like paint or flooring usually don't. We handle the entire permitting process for you, plans and inspections included. Skipping a required permit can cause real headaches later, including trouble selling your home, so we always pull the proper ones. One less thing on your plate.

A mix of our own crew and subcontractors we've worked with for years, all licensed and insured for their trade. You'll know who's coming and when, and someone from Golden Gables stays your main point of contact the whole way through. We don't hand your job off and disappear. If a sub isn't meeting our standards, we handle it fast.

Payments are tied to project milestones, so you're never paying for work that isn't done yet. Typically that's a deposit to start, payments as major phases wrap up, and a final payment once you've walked the finished project and signed off. It's all spelled out in your contract before we break ground.

It happens more than people expect, especially with older Central Florida homes. When it does, we stop, show you what we found, and give you options with updated pricing before doing anything further. You make the call on how to move forward. We'd rather flag it early than let it turn into a bigger, costlier issue.

Yes, our workmanship is warrantied, and materials are typically covered separately by the manufacturer. If something's off after the project wraps, big or small, call us and we'll come take a look. We'd rather fix it than have you living with it.

Both. If you already have plans or a design team, we'll coordinate directly with them from concept to construction. If you're starting from scratch, we can connect you with architects, designers, and engineers we trust, or guide simpler projects ourselves. Either way, you're not stuck figuring out who talks to whom.

Reach out to schedule a walkthrough, whether it's an existing property or a lot you're building on. We'll talk through your goals, budget, and timeline, then follow up with a written estimate and clear next steps. No pressure at the consultation stage, just a chance to understand your project and see how we work.
