Residential Services
As general contractors with extensive residential experience, we’ve completed projects of all scope and size. One thing they all have in common, however, is client concern about budget. Here’s the deal — your budget matters. It’s what determines key factors of your project like form and function. Your budget will guide our plans and help assist with important decisions like the types of materials to choose for every detail.
The reality, of course, is that many people — if not most — are uncomfortable discussing their budget. Maybe it’s because for so long so many of us were raised with the belief that conversations about money were taboo and best avoided.
When it comes to general contracting and your residential renovation, your budget should be something you can feel comfortable discussing honestly with your contractor.
We’ve often seen that some of our customers are hesitant to share their budget, for one of two reasons: they fear they’ll be taken advantage of if their stated budget exceeds the actual projected cost of the project or they assume their budget is too small to bother with.
Having a frank discussion about what you are willing and able to spend on your residential renovation project — no matter the size — only helps everyone involved and, ultimately, supports the success of the work throughout the process.
We pride ourselves in outstanding communication with our clients and sincerely encourage them to approach us with the confidence that we are here to help, support, and provide the solutions to exceed your expectations.
Give us a call and let us discuss your budget and big dreams for your residential renovation.
Perhaps interior designer Michael S. Smith said it best when he observed that, “Good houses take work.”
At Dube General Contracting, we get that home is really a feeling, which can be felt in all sorts of spaces. Typically, the idea of home really has to do with the company more than the construction. But when it comes to your house — the physical space where you and your family and friends find shelter, safety, and solace, we agree that it can take some work to match your vision.
And not only your vision but the very real needs of your personal situation. If you’re expanding your family and need a nursery, or your nest is empty and you need to convert empty bedrooms into more practical and useful spaces, there’s work involved.
Fortunately, for our team, we don’t see work the way many people do. For us, work isn’t an obligation but an honor. We feel privileged by the opportunity to get to know you in order to determine how our talents can transform the interior of your home into exactly what you need and want it to be.
After all, current research states that we spend upwards of 90% of our time indoors. It stands to reason everyone should LOVE the interior spaces that define their lives and livelihoods.
We are delighted to take on any interior jobs that you can dream of, and we have a special talent for the following interior spaces…
Interior Services
Additions
There are plenty of good reasons why your house might suddenly need more space. Whether it’s to welcome a new baby or provide a comforting apartment for aging parents or in-laws, we’ve seen it all. As more and more people work from home, we’ve experienced an increase in inquiries about home offices and even adding additional space for a home gym.
Bathrooms
Here’s something to consider: a British news outlet endeavored to nail down just how much time the average person spends in the bathroom. Between getting ready for work, primping and preening for special occasions, escaping into a book while soaking in the tub — or elsewhere — or simply escaping from children, in-laws, lingering house guests, we all spend a great deal of time in the bathroom.
Basements
It doesn’t take much to convince parents of toddlers or teenagers that a finished basement is a very fine idea. Not only does it afford you extra living space, it might protect the other areas of your house by providing a space for toys, teenage angst or the home gym equipment you’ve been meaning to assemble.
Kitchens
Kitchens set the stage for some of our most memorable conversations, family announcements, and shared meals, no matter their size or set up. A common complaint we often hear when it comes to kitchens is the lack of space and storage. Our custom cabinets and built-ins are game-changers and can really transform a kitchen into an ideal space for hosting and making those cherished memories with family and friends.

As more and more people work from home, we’ve experienced an increase in inquiries about home offices and even adding additional space for a home gym.
Additions are always exciting projects because they are about more than creating extra space. They reflect a new reality for your living situation and we are honored to help realize it with quality craftsmanship and our team of trustworthy, experienced experts.
Bathrooms
Here’s something to consider: a British news outlet endeavored to nail down just how much time the average person spends in the bathroom. Between getting ready for work, primping and preening for special occasions, escaping into a book while soaking in the tub — or elsewhere — or simply escaping from children, in-laws, lingering house guests, we all spend a great deal of time in the bathroom.
How much exactly? Well, there isn’t an exact figure but this particular study asserts that the average adult will spend approximately 416 days of their entire lives in the bathroom. That time should not be spent tinkering with tired hardware, scrubbing away at stains that will never budge or wishing you had a soaking tub instead of a stand-up shower.
We believe everyone deserves a better bathroom. That’s why we’re excited to partner with you on the bathroom you need and will love. Sometimes it’s as simple as renovating for better storage, which is where our custom cabinets and built-ins offer ideal solutions. These are the details that really capture the “IT” factor when it comes to custom storage and cabinetry.
Other tasks we’re often asked to take on include replacing tile and installing new hardware or fixtures, like that sought-after soaking tub. Some of our clients have long understood the benefits of busting out of the confines of an existing space in order to treat themselves (and their marriages) to a proper “his and her” style bathroom.
Featuring the latest installations and cutting-edge technologies, our team will update your bathroom according to the newest trends and fashions, which you’ll see in details like paint, tile, fixtures and smart storage solutions.
Whatever you envision your dream bathroom to be, we’ve got the skills to make it a reality.

Basements
It doesn’t take much to convince parents of toddlers or teenagers that a finished basement is a very fine idea. Not only does it afford you extra living space, it might protect the other areas of your house by providing a space for toys, teenage angst or the home gym equipment you’ve been meaning to assemble.
More than the abstract benefits of a finished basement, it turns out that a finished basement can give you a 75% return on your investment — possibly even higher in heavily populated areas. The goal is to ensure that you have one bathroom and one bedroom, with the rest of the space designed with open concept in mind.
We want you to reap the benefits of a finished basement, which is why we work with local architects and engineers every step of the way. From the initial concept and designs through completion; we see this as the key to a successful basement renovation project.

Kitchens
We really connect with this quote from Michael J. Fox: “The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It’s got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.”
Kitchens set the stage for some of our most memorable conversations, family announcements, and shared meals, no matter their size or set up. A common complaint we often hear when it comes to kitchens is the lack of space and storage. Our custom cabinets and built-ins are game-changers and can really transform a kitchen into an ideal space for hosting and making those cherished memories with family and friends.
When we take on your kitchen project, our team will provide you with multiple designs based on the vision you’ve shared with us for your ultimate kitchen. Using the most current installations and best available technologies, your completed kitchen will feature the newest trends and fashions in every detail from tile choice to paint selection, backsplashes, hardware, and smart storage solutions like custom built-ins.
Whatever your goal for your new or renovated kitchen, we make every effort to respect the budget you’ve established with us and will communicate any possible changes with you every step of the way, ensuring the entire process is completed, surprise-free.
