Called on a Friday about a leaking fixture and they were out Monday morning. Fixed it in under an hour, charged a fair price, and cleaned up after themselves. That's all I'm asking for.

Multi-Trade

I've used Dobbins for three rental-unit turnovers now. They handle paint, plumbing, and small repairs in a single visit. Saves me having to coordinate three different trades.

Honest, quick, and they don't talk down to you. Quote came in exactly what they said it would. I'll be calling them again for the kitchen.

Upgraded our electrical panel and added circuits for a new garage setup. Clean work, everything labeled, passed inspection first try. Professional top to bottom.

Commercial

Our office needed a quick refresh before a client visit. They turned it around in four days including new trim and fresh paint. Stayed late so we could open Monday. Above and beyond.

Our Story

Twenty years of
"whatever it takes."

Dobbins Contracting started in 2003 with a truck, a ladder, and a simple idea: show up when you say you will, do the job right, and treat people's homes the way you'd want yours treated.

Twenty years later, we're still family-run, still based on East Union Street, and still picking up the phone ourselves when you call. The crew has grown. The trucks have multiplied. But the way we work hasn't changed.

If you've hired contractors before, you know the drill: no-shows, vague quotes, and sub-contractors you've never met doing the actual work. We're the other kind of shop — direct answers, firm prices, and our own people on every job.

How We Work

Three rules.
No exceptions.

01

Free, honest estimates

We come out, we look at the job, we tell you what it'll actually cost. No pressure to decide on the spot. No fake discounts if you sign today.

02

Work around your life

Whether it's your home or your business, we plan the work so you can keep living and operating. Clean-up every day. No dumpsters sitting in the driveway for weeks.

03

Finish what we start

We don't leave jobs 90% done. We walk through with you at the end, punch-list anything that isn't right, and don't call it finished until you agree it is.
