Gilbert Inc.

A crew this size means the person who bids the job is usually the person doing it. That suits a homeowner who wants one point of contact and a contractor who has kept working the same part of Spokane County for years. It is a general contractor registered with Washington L&I, and its work stays on the Washington side of the line. A shop that grows by word of mouth tends to suit people who can get a name from a neighbor, rather than those who want a long public track record to read through before calling. Timing matters for general contracting in the Spokane area. Frozen ground and snow load through the winter make foundation, concrete and exterior framing harder, and freeze-thaw cycles in early spring are hard on anything poured or sealed too late in fall. The dry summers are the natural window for exterior work, which is also when small crews book up fastest. Interior remodels fit well into the colder months. A homeowner in Spokane Valley or Cheney planning an addition or siding job does better to start talking with a contractor in late winter, so the outside work lands in the dry stretch.
