History of Company
At Great Falls Contractors, our company structure and processes were designed to simplify and
revolutionize the way homeowners deal with builders and contractors.
When simply conceptualizing an idea or working off plans that you have already had done,
the GFC experience is much different than dealing with ordinary, standard issue contractors. GFC’s
team is not comprised of “jack of all trades” contractors who are just decent at everything. All of our
teams are comprised of a combination of accredited skilled and gifted contractors, including everything
from Master Electricians, Master Plumbers, Rough and Finish Carpenters, Millwork teams, Drywall and
Painters, Custom Tile Experts, Designers and Architects. Those are just some of the everyday crews we
deal with in addition to another 30+ skilled experts and professionals in their proprietary fields.
From our initial meeting, GFC listens to what the customer wants, helps the customer
understand feasibility, budgets, and code in the best combination to achieve their goals. GFC then does
a thorough investigation of the property to understand the environment and infrastructure. Once that
is done, GFC will incorporate the most appropriate action plan, put it to paper in great detail, and will
submit the project estimate or proposal. To ensure there are no surprises, the estimate or proposal
will be compiled from a set of “fixed rate contracts” we collect off our RFP (Request For Proposals) from
each contractor that is needed for the project. This process allows us to deliver you a Turn-Key proposal
with an associated “Fixed Rate”. This really helps to minimize the “nickel and diming” or constant
Change Orders you see with our other contractors.
When you hire Great Falls Contractors for a project, the communication, attention to detail
and project transitions are seamless. We first provide you with a Gantt chart schedule of the project
timeline that includes daily activities, procurement, deliveries, inspections and cleanings. You will also
be assigned a dedicated project manager that is your direct point of contact for everything and anything
you may need until your project is completed. This means immediate communication, whether via
telephone, email or in person, in regards to any and all aspects of your project. The project manager
will provide you with daily updates for each stage of the job, as well as coordinate all crews to keep the
project moving, with virtually no downtime.
When it comes to finishing and materials, GFC has dedicated procurement specialists that do
everything from offering product ideas, price shopping, coordinating, tracking and real-time updates to
ensure on-time shipping and delivery of items to the job site. Because GFC has volume discounts from
nearly every vendor (Contractors Pricing) in the Capital area, we pass the savings on to you, giving us the
ability to price projects more aggressively than if you were to shop around every part of your project,
resulting in the greatest in cost-cutting measures.
The result is a crew of tradesman, working in concert, to maximize time and energy and
minimize costly and time killing delays. You no longer have to make multiple phone calls to multiple
workers in an effort to get a simple job status report or to make a major change in direction of the
project on a moment’s notice.
Once you have worked with GFC and experienced our process, we feel confident you will never
go back to the old way of doing things. Many do-it-yourself home owners believe that individually
selecting and hiring the necessary tradesman/contractors to have a project transform from blueprints
to turn key, can initially sound cost effective and desirable. This process, almost exclusively, becomes
a very time consuming managing nightmare, overwhelmingly costly and is ineffective not only in the
ultimate craftsmanship of the given job, but creates a logistical nightmare that is too common in our
industry.
At GFC, we strive to provide the best customer service experience and our client’s overall
satisfaction from beginning to end. The relationships we have built with some of the DC area’s top
real estate agents, professional sports franchises and simple word of mouth referrals continue to be
our primary and most important sales tool, often eliminating all traditional means of advertising and
marketing that other companies pay small fortunes to develop. When planning your next remodeling
project, major renovation or ground up custom home build, see why more and more professionals
and families alike trust their most important investment, their home, to their personal builder and
contractor, Great Falls Contractors, Inc.
