Our Story

a contractor plus was founded with a simple belief: property owners deserve a contractor they can actually trust. Too many homeowners and investors had been burned by unreliable crews, surprise costs, and projects that dragged on for months. We set out to change that — right here in Central New York.

Today, we're a full-service operation with licensed crews, dedicated project managers, and a track record of 500+ completed projects. We're not a franchise — we're your neighbors, and our reputation in this community is everything to us.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Transparency

No hidden fees, no surprise change orders. You'll always know exactly where your project stands.

Accountability

One team, one point of contact. We own the outcome from permit to punch list.

Quality

We use the same materials and standards on every job — whether it's a $10K bath or a $1M build.

Community

We live and work in the communities we serve. Your neighborhood is our neighborhood.
