Who you are hiring
About
A small, owner-led contracting company built around direct personal involvement, thoughtful problem-solving and a commitment to finishing work carefully.
Founded and run by Tom Atwood
Atwood Contracting was founded by Tom Atwood, a lifelong resident of Central New York. The company is built around direct personal involvement, thoughtful problem-solving, and a commitment to completing work carefully.
As a small, owner-led company, we provide customers with a consistent point of contact throughout their project. We perform and coordinate work across multiple phases of residential remodeling, helping eliminate the confusion and inconvenience of managing numerous separate contractors.
Our team approaches every home with professionalism, respect, and attention to detail. We work closely with clients to understand their priorities, develop a clear plan, and create a finished result that feels cohesive rather than like a collection of disconnected trades.
