Hawthorne General Contractors

The Associated General Contractors of America was founded in 1918 at the request of then-president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, to help establish general contractor standards for quality and integrity. The Canadian Construction Association was founded in the same year, and acts as a similar industry watchdog for general contractors in Canada. These associations work to establish education guidelines and certification standards for general contractors. When you, as a homeowner, hire a contractor affiliated with these groups, security, integrity, and ethics are part of the best practices for the profession.
