Licensing & Process

Yes — fully. Groundwork Guild holds all required state and local contractor licenses and carries comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability and workers' compensation on every project. We're happy to provide proof of insurance upon request before any work begins.

Absolutely. We handle the complete permitting process on your behalf — from initial applications to scheduling inspections and securing final approvals. You won't need to navigate local building departments or code requirements on your own. We keep you informed every step of the way.

Yes. Changes are handled through a transparent change order process. Before any modification is made, we'll document the requested change, assess the impact on the budget and timeline, and get your written approval. This protects both parties and keeps the project on track with clear expectations.

We accept check, bank transfer (EFT/ACH), and major credit cards. Payment schedules are milestone-based — meaning payments are tied to completed project phases rather than arbitrary dates. This structure is outlined clearly in your contract before work begins, so there are no surprises.
