self-performed work

From planning to punch list, we’re your partner.

With deep experience across healthcare, education, commercial, retail, and industrial projects, Edge brings a versatile approach to every job.

We self-perform carpentry—including millwork, wall panels, doors, and specialty installations—to maintain control over quality and timelines. For all other trades, we draw from a trusted network of qualified subcontractors, built through years of hard bid and negotiated work. The result? Reliable partnerships, competitive pricing, and exceptional value from start to finish.
