Your Trusted General Contractor Serving Fairfax, VA and Northern Virginia

Yes. SB Builders and Construction Inc. holds a Class A General Contractor license issued by the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR), the highest classification available in Virginia. Our license number is 2705160143. We carry full bonding and insurance on every project. You can verify our active license status at dpor.virginia.gov. We pull all required permits and manage code compliance in-house.

Virginia licenses contractors at three levels: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A is the highest, authorizing projects of any size and value. It requires verified financial responsibility, demonstrated technical knowledge, and insurance confirmed by DPOR. Class B is limited to projects under $120,000. Class C covers work under $10,000. When you hire a Class A contractor like SB Builders, your project is held to Virginia's most rigorous legal and safety standards regardless of project size.

A handyman handles small repairs and maintenance, typically jobs under $1,000 in total cost that do not require permits or structural changes. In Virginia, any project valued at $1,000 or more in combined labor and materials legally requires a licensed contractor. A general contractor manages the full scope of larger construction work: permits, structural changes, trade coordination, and code compliance. For any renovation, addition, or remodel in Fairfax County, a licensed general contractor is required.

SB Builders uses its own in-house construction team. We do not pull subcontractors from a rotating list. Our builders are employed directly, which means consistent quality, reliable scheduling, and one accountable team from start to finish. The owner is involved throughout your project.

Most general contractors price work either as a management fee of roughly 10 to 20 percent of total project cost or as a fixed-price contract covering all labor, materials, and oversight. SB Builders uses fixed-price estimates. You see the full breakdown before any work begins, with no hidden fees or surprise change orders. Final cost depends on project scope, materials selected, and permit requirements.

We start with a consultation to assess your project scope, understand your goals, and discuss budget. From there, we provide a detailed written estimate itemizing labor, materials, and timeline. Any scope changes during construction require your approval before work proceeds. Call 703-298-2919 or contact us online to schedule your free estimate.

If you request a change or we uncover conditions that affect the agreed scope, such as a hidden structural issue or outdated wiring, we stop, explain the situation, and provide a written change order outlining the additional work, cost, and timeline impact. You approve it before we proceed. No work outside the original scope happens without your knowledge and sign-off.

Bob, the owner of SB Builders, is directly involved in every project. You have one point of contact throughout, not a salesperson who disappears after signing. Updates on schedule, progress, and any decisions that require your input come directly from the project lead. You are not left chasing someone down to find out what is happening on your own home.

Yes. SB Builders manages the full permit process: application, submission, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off.
