General contractor in El Paso, Texas

How to choose a general contractor in El Paso

Start with insurance. Ask every contractor for certificates of insurance for general liability and workers' compensation. Expert Construction Group keeps both current on every job and sends certificates on request.

Texas has no state general contractor license, so a license number cannot settle the question. Insurance, the trade licenses behind each permit, references and reviews carry the weight, and our guide on how to verify a contractor in Texas walks through each check. Our Google reviews are public, and you can read them on our reviews page.

Get a written scope and an open-book budget, because a single number is hard to compare. On commercial work we build the cost model with you and your architect during preconstruction, the budget is open-book so you read the same line items we do, and change orders are priced in advance.

Ask for a written payment schedule tied to finished milestones, with lien waivers as each draw is paid. Our guide to draw schedules and progress payments walks through it.

Ask who runs the job day to day. At Expert Construction Group one estimator carries the project into preconstruction and the same project manager runs it through close-out, so your job does not change hands halfway through the schedule.

Ask which trades the contractor performs with its own people. A contractor that only manages subcontractors depends on other companies' calendars. We self-perform site work, concrete, mechanical, plumbing, roofing and envelope with our own crews, and manage the balance of trades with subcontractors we pay on time.

Where we fit, and where we do not

We fit owners who want one accountable team from the first cost model to the punch list, with self-performed trades and bilingual crews who work in English and Spanish. That holds for a ground-up commercial building and for a kitchen remodel. We also take flooring and painting as single-trade jobs.

Where we do not fit: our home market is El Paso and Las Cruces. We take select projects across West Texas, southern New Mexico and Arizona, but if your project sits outside that region, a contractor based closer to it is likely the better call.

How a project starts

Call (915) 345-4088, use the chat on this page, or send the project form. For a single trade such as flooring, painting, fences or concrete, you can request an online estimate from photos with no site visit first, and the written estimate usually arrives within a few business days.

Larger projects run in three phases. Preconstruction: we build an open-book cost model with you and your architect. Construction: weekly owner, architect and contractor meetings, change orders priced in advance, and subcontractors paid on time. Close-out: the punch list closes before the temporary certificate of occupancy, and you receive the warranties, as-built drawings and operating manuals.
