Originally a farming community, McCandless was established in 1851 and grew significantly as Pittsburgh’s North Hills expanded, particularly during the post-WWII housing boom. Today, it’s an established residential community known for its wooded neighborhoods, convenient location, and North Park, roughly 1,600 acres of which lie within McCandless. With many homes built during the area’s decades of suburban growth—including homes from the 1980s and 1990s that may be ready for their next round of updates—Evergreen General Contracting helps McCandless homeowners modernize kitchens and bathrooms, reconfigure outdated layouts, finish basements, build additions, and create custom decks and outdoor living spaces that make the most of their homes and the area’s natural surroundings.

The first step in any construction project is creating a clear plan. Before selecting materials or beginning construction, it's important to define your goals, understand how you want the space to function, and determine what level of drawings or planning your project requires. We are equipped to help you make these important planning decisions before your project even begins.
It depends on the project specifically, but often times, yes. Most home renovation projects require some level of drawings to ensure the project is properly planned, accurately estimated, and built. At Evergreen General Contracting, we provide the design services needed for your project - from simple floor plans to detailed construction documents and engineered drawings. The design process is tailored to the scope and complexity of each project.
