Building in Fort Worth since 2004

One contractor, one number, one promise

I'm Jim Hartwell. I framed houses for a decade before getting my GC license in 2004, and I've run Hartwell Builders ever since. The number one complaint about contractors is the same everywhere: they vanish mid-job. So I run one major project at a time per crew. When we start your remodel, we're at your house every workday until it's done.

Every job gets a written schedule before we sign. If a delay is my fault, you'll know why and what I'm doing about it the same day. That's the whole business model and it's why most of my work comes from past customers.
