What It's Really Like to Build with CMW

Our Process

No runaround. No getting passed from person to person. Just a straightforward, hands-on process from the first conversation through the final walkthrough.

We're Not Interested in Being Fancy

We’re not the suit-and-tie type, and you won’t find us sitting in the A/C behind a desk all day. We’re builders. We’re on site, walking the property, talking through the plans, and keeping a close eye on the progress every step of the way. Nothing fancy. Just builders who stay involved.

    1. A Real Conversation

    Jimmy and the team come to you, walk the property, and talk through what you want to build. No sales script—just a real conversation about your vision, your needs, and what makes sense for the project.

    2. A Plan You Can Trust

    You’ll receive a clear, detailed proposal outlining the scope, pricing, and expected timeline for your project. No vague numbers or confusing fine print—just a plan you can understand and trust.

    3. Hands-On Building

    Jimmy and the team stay close to the work, regularly on-site and involved in the details from start to finish. You’ll always know who’s in charge, what’s happening, and where your project stands.

    4. After the Build

    We walk the finished project with you, take care of anything that’s not right, and stand behind our work with a workmanship warranty. We don’t just pack up the trucks and disappear.

A Note from Jimmy

“Building something for someone is a big responsibility. Whether it’s their home, their business, or something they’ve been planning for years, they’re trusting us to get it right. We take that seriously. Be honest, communicate, do what you say you’re going to do, and build something you’re proud to put your name on. That’s what CMW is about.”

— Jimmy Stewart, Founder & Owner, CMW General Contractors

This is our second project with CMW. This time they built our forever home for us. We've been living in our barndominium for 3 months and couldn't be happier with it. The process was smooth, the quality and customer service outstanding. Honest, patient, trustworthy. We don't hesitate to recommend Jimmy and Chandler at CMW.

If we could give more stars, we would! We have been in our custom home for 6 months now and we are so pleased with the end result. Jimmy and Chandler could not be more reliable and trustworthy, which was very important to us as 75% of our home was built while we lived in another state. From start to finish all communication was timely, all materials are of high quality, and the custom touches throughout our home were thoughtful and well done. Jimmy is a seasoned contractor with excellent instincts and advice, and Chandler is very creative with an eye for design. It was a true pleasure working with CMW Contractors and we are looking forward to working with them again for projects in the future!

From concept to completion, CMW was with us every step of the way. We started with an idea and a drawing, and Jimmy and his team brought it to life. As a customer, I think it is natural to have some anxiety through the building process but Jimmy always kept us informed and explained the process well. We learned a lot and were able to create a unique home that is exactly what we wanted and that truly reflects us. If you want a home that is a reflection of your dream, then CMW is your contractor.

Jimmy and crew extended the steel barn roof to cover the RV pad. Did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. Would have them do any job in the future.

We really enjoyed working with Jimmy and CMW for the remodel of our barnodominium. What started as one big shell of a room became a beautiful, open living space with a bathroom, kitchen and living room and we absolutely love it! We had a few unexpected twists and turns to navigate and Jimmy was there with us every step of the way. He really went above and beyond many times during the process, and we hope to work with CMW again on future projects!

Jimmy, his crew, and family are amazing! We had them work on a remodel to our home as well as some small update jobs throughout. They were timely, kind, fair with price, had great attention to detail with good quality work, and very knowledgeable. We have three young children and they were thoughtful to our families needs and schedule as well. I would recommend them to anyone needing to repairs or renovations done to your home.

Very easy to work with. Quality work. Nice construction crew and very informative. Did a great job on our office building stucco work and found someone for us to help with new gutters. Worked on balcony tile grout until we were satisfied with the color! Would highly recommend! Jimmy is awesome and hands on!
