General contracting · Fairhaven Ridge and the surrounding valley
Built square. Finished properly.
Residential builds, additions and full renovations. One crew, one site manager, one written scope — and no surprise line items at the end of it.
What we build
Five things, done properly.
We do not take on everything. If a job needs a specialist we do not have, we will say so and give you the name of someone who does.
-
01
Whole-house renovation
Structural changes, new services, new finishes. Usually a house you have just bought, or one you have lived in long enough to know exactly what is wrong with it.
-
02
Additions & extensions
Single and two-storey additions, garage conversions, rear extensions. Tied into the existing roofline so it does not read as an afterthought.
-
03
Kitchens & bathrooms
Full strip-out and rebuild, including the plumbing and electrical work behind the part you can see. Cabinetry made locally to the drawings.
-
04
New-build homes
From a cleared lot to a finished house, working to your architect's drawings or to a design we develop with you first.
-
05
Decks, porches & outbuildings
Smaller work we still run the same way: written scope, fixed start date, and the site left clean at the end of every day.
Recent work
Three projects.
Invented for this demonstration site. A real build would carry the contractor's own photography and their own completed jobs.
Period house, full renovation
New build with carport
Why it costs what it costs
The parts you never see are the parts we argue about.
Flashing details, blocking behind fixings, how a wall meets a floor, whether a joist is packed or shimmed. None of it photographs well and all of it decides whether the finish still looks right in ten years.
It is also why our quotes are itemised. You can see exactly what you are paying for, compare it line by line against anyone else's, and ask us why a number is what it is.
Ask for an itemised quoteHow a job runs
Four stages, and you always know which one you are in.
-
01
Site visit
We come and look. An hour, usually. Nothing is quoted from photographs or over the telephone.
-
02
Written scope & quote
Itemised, with what is included and — just as important — what is not. Allowances are marked as allowances.
-
03
Build
A named site manager, a schedule you can see, and a short written update at the end of each week.
-
04
Handover
We walk the job with you and write the list ourselves. Nothing is invoiced as complete until that list is empty.
On site
Work in progress.
Where we work
Inside forty minutes of the yard.
A crew that spends an hour each way in a truck is a crew that is not building anything. We keep the radius tight so the schedule holds.

How we work
Four commitments, in writing.
These are the terms of how a Stonemill job runs. They are in the contract, not just on the website.
-
A written scope before a deposit
You get the full itemised scope and schedule before any money changes hands. If we cannot describe the work precisely, we are not ready to quote it.
-
One person you can call
A named site manager for the whole job. Not a rotating number, not a general office line, and not somebody who has to ring you back to find out what happened yesterday.
-
The site is left clean daily
Swept, materials stacked, walkways clear, and the driveway usable. It is your house and you are living in it.
-
Payment tied to stages, not dates
Each payment is released against work actually completed and inspected, not against a calendar. If a stage slips, the invoice slips with it.
Request a quote
Tell us what you are thinking about.
Free, written and itemised. We visit the site first — nothing gets priced off a photograph. Most quotes come back within five working days of the visit.
