Homes

Whether it is a plan for a large country estate with a home and multiple buildings or a single-family residence in a suburban or urban setting, each decision about floor plans, building materials and interior design impacts the building’s appearance, cost, durability and market value as an investment.

Wilkinson Contracting works closely with homeowners from the earliest planning stages through final completion to ensure those decisions are made with clarity and confidence. Richard’s experience building conventional, hybrid, log, and timber homes allows him to guide clients through design options that balance lifestyle goals, budget, and long-term performance.

Renovation and Restoration

Large scale renovation or restoration of an existing structure are among the services Wilkinson Contracting offers. This can range from adaptive reuse of an historic property to rebuilding a damaged home or business following a natural disaster.

Renovation and restoration projects require a careful balance between preserving what makes a structure unique and integrating modern building standards, systems, and comforts. Richard brings a deep understanding of structural integrity, materials, and construction sequencing to these complex projects, helping clients avoid costly surprises.

Whether updating a historic home, expanding an existing residence, or restoring a property after fire, storm, or flood damage, Wilkinson Contracting prioritizes clear communication, realistic timelines, and quality workmanship. The goal is always to restore and often enhance the character, safety, and functionality of the original structure.

Commercial

Richard’s experience includes constructing commercial structures like offices, lodges, shops, event venues and resorts.

Commercial projects demand durability, efficiency, and an understanding of how buildings function for both owners and users. Wilkinson Contracting works with business owners, developers, and designers to deliver commercial spaces that meet operational needs while remaining visually appealing and cost-effective.

From small-scale commercial buildings to larger destination properties, each project is managed with attention to scheduling, coordination with subcontractors, and compliance with applicable codes and regulations. The result is a finished space that supports the client’s business goals and stands up to long-term use.

Materials

Richard’s years in the building industry have enabled him to develop relationships with the best sources for specialty materials like logs, timbers, SIP (structural insulated panels) and stains and finishes as well as conventional building materials. He also has access to interior designers experienced in bringing an interior vision to life.

These relationships allow Wilkinson Contracting to source high-quality materials that enhance both performance and aesthetics while keeping projects on budget. Richard helps homeowners and clients understand the advantages of different material choices, including energy efficiency, maintenance requirements, and long-term durability.
