building with confidence what to expect when working with a general contractor in rhode islandStarting a home renovation or construction project is a big deal. It takes vision, planning, and the right team to bring it all together. Whether you're remodeling a kitchen, adding more space, or starting from the ground up, working with a reliable general contractor makes all the difference.

At Tavares Construction LLC, we guide Rhode Island homeowners through every phase of construction—making the process smooth, transparent, and built to last.


What Does a General Contractor Actually Do?

A general contractor is the central point of contact for your entire project. They manage everything from hiring subcontractors and ordering materials to scheduling inspections and keeping the job on track.

At Tavares Construction, we act as your partner from day one. You’ll never be left wondering what’s next or who’s responsible for what. We coordinate it all—so you don’t have to.


Services We Provide at Tavares Construction

Whether you're upgrading your current home or building a brand-new one, our team handles a wide range of residential construction services:

  • Full home renovations

  • Additions and expansions

  • Kitchen and bathroom remodels

  • Custom garages and sheds

  • Decks, porches, and outdoor living spaces

  • Siding, roofing, and framing

  • New construction and ground-up builds

Each project is built around your goals, budget, and timeline—and we’re committed to delivering top-tier craftsmanship from start to finish.


Why Choose a Licensed Contractor in Rhode Island?

Rhode Island requires contractors to be licensed and insured—and for good reason. Hiring a licensed contractor protects you legally and financially, and ensures your project meets state building codes.

Tavares Construction is fully licensed in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. That means every nail, beam, and finish we install is up to code—and built to last.
