General Contracting in Norwich NY
When you build in Norwich, you’re not just constructing a building—you’re adding to the fabric of a community rooted in history, hard work, and hometown pride. From the sturdy farmsteads dotting the hillsides to the proud Victorians lining North Broad Street, each project here comes with its own set of stories, soil conditions, and local nuances. It takes more than a contractor—it takes a neighbor who knows which way the winter winds blow down the Chenango Valley and who’s on a first-name basis at the Code Enforcement office.
Over the Top Construction: Your Trusted General Contractor in Norwich, NY
That’s where we put down our stakes. Over the Top Construction isn’t just a contracting company in Norwich—we’re your building partners, born from this soil and committed to its future. For over 25 years, our family has framed, finished, and finessed the spaces where Norwich lives, works, and grows. We build like we live here—because we do.
The Norwich Difference: Why Local Knowledge Isn’t Just Talk, It’s Your Blueprint
Think about the last big project you heard about in town—the one that ran late, went over budget, or left a mess behind. Chances are, it wasn’t run by someone who shops at the Norwich Farmer’s Market or whose kids go to local schools. Building here has its own rhythm. It’s understanding how the spring thaw affects foundation pours on Norwich’s clay-heavy lots. It’s knowing how to seamlessly blend an addition onto a home in the historic district without ruffling the Architectural Review Board. It’s having a trusted roster of masons from Plymouth, electricians from Oxford, and suppliers who know our name. We don’t just know the rules—we helped write some of the best practices that local trades follow today.
