Renovation, done with monastic precision.
Monk is a general contracting studio for people who notice grout lines, reveal gaps, and the difference between finished and correct. We plan hard, build clean, and hand you keys — not punch lists.








What we build.
Every job runs through the same shop standard, from a powder room refresh to a full teardown-rebuild.
SVC.01 — KITCHEN
Kitchen Remodels
Layout, cabinetry, counters, and mechanicals reworked as one system, not a parts list.
SVC.02 — BATH
Bathroom Renovation
Waterproofing done right first, then the finishes you’ll actually notice every morning.
SVC.03 — ADD
Home Additions
Square footage that matches the bones of the original house, structurally and visually.
SVC.04 — WHOLE
Whole-Home Renovation
One GC, one schedule, one point of accountability for the entire scope.
SVC.05 — BSMT
SVC.05 — BSMT
Livable square footage with proper egress, moisture control, and real ceiling height.
SVC.06 — EXT
Exteriors & Decks
Siding, decking, and envelope work built to outlast the warranty on the materials.
How a project moves.
Four stages, no surprises. You'll know what's happening and when, every week.

We measure, assess, and talk through what's actually possible with your space and budget.
Fixed Proposal
A line-itemized scope and timeline, priced once, not padded with change-order bait.

What clients say.
They quoted a number in March and that's the number we paid in June. Never happened to us before.
Weekly photo updates meant I never had to guess what was happening while I was at work.
The crew treated the house like it was theirs. Clean site every single day, no exceptions.
Tell us what you're building.
Send the basics and we'll schedule a site walkthrough within the week. No obligation, no pushy follow-up calls.
