Bob Bedford founded Bedford Builders in 2003, after earning a degree in building construction and cabinet making from New England Institute of Technology and working with some of the greatest contractors and trades people in the region. While primarily focused on renovating one and two-family dwellings, Bob is experienced with historic renovation, commercial fit-outs and custom fabrication. Clients are continually impressed with his detailed and accurate written estimates, high levels of communication throughout the process, and building trade knowledge, as well as his personal involvement on every job. In 2014, the company changed its name to Bedford Builders Remodeling, LLC. Bob has trained with the RI State Building Code Commissioner and has passed the required testing and granted the certification to become a building inspector on 1 & 2 Family Dwellings as well as the State Building Code (Commercial). He takes seriously the responsibility to comply with current building codes and standards, no matter what the project. Quality work, professionalism and an eye for detail remain the hallmarks of every Bedford Builders Remodeling job. Acting as general contractor for each project, the Bedford Builders Remodeling team manages the entire project from start to finish, including architect interaction, estimating, coordinating skilled specialty subcontractors, arranging for permits and inspections, scheduling, and on-site supervision to ensure the work is being done properly and to your satisfaction. Our clients can rest assured knowing that thorough background checks and drug screens are performed on all our employees. In addition, all our sub contractors must maintain and provide updated licensure and insurance proof to obtain and maintain their pre-approved status with us. FREE DISPOSAL FOR ALL JOBS OVER $10k

"I wasn't able to select all of the work that Bedford Builders did, but I am delighted with the work they completed for my 227-year-old house... kitchen renovation, master bath, 36 windows replaced, but so much more as this old lady needed a lot of structural work. I appreciated the attention to detail and the daily communications. I felt like I knew what was going on, good, bad, or indifferent. I have had several major reno projects done in the past. This one is top of the list based on the process and the results."

"The painters were not only very personable and professional but also very efficient and did an excellent job stripping and painting the outside of my home.

"Jonathon was professional and very knowledgeable throughout the whole project, we delayed the start for quite some time, while we checked out possible rebates based on income etc that did not come to fruition . He not only honored the original price, but completed the project within 2 weeks of us giving the go ahead. On the installation day (raining ) he and his electrician worked all day to complete the project, very respectful of our property and worked efficiently and to a high standard of quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Kent County Mechanical for this or any other similar project. "

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

On average, the cost to transform your garage into a workshop is about $2,000. The overall project cost depends on the type of workshop you want to build and its size. Regardless of the type of workshop, you’ll still need basic workshop spaces and equipment such as a workbench, cabinets, and space for storage and for working.

While some people are confident in their ability to replace concrete by drilling out the broken pieces and replacing them with bagged concrete, it’s possible to run into snags that make hiring a professional worth it. Trying to level concrete slabs can require special equipment, which can be pricey to rent and tough to operate. It's also crucial to contact your town's municipal office to ensure you are allowed to take on the project without a permit.

No, builders and general contractors don’t expect tips. In fact, some companies may prohibit their employees from accepting client tips. If you want to show gratitude for a job well done, consider writing a review of your builder or contractor or agreeing to be a reference for potential new customers.

General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include building a new home or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.
