Work with us.
We are always looking for reliable subcontractors across the Capital Region — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, tile, flooring, masonry, roofing, and finish carpentry. Steady work, clear scopes, and we pay on time.
Mon–Fri 8AM–5PM
What we are looking for
Mechanical
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC. Licensed in the relevant municipality, insured, and able to pull your own permits where required.
Interior finish
Drywall and taping, tile setting, flooring, painting, and finish carpentry. Consistency matters more than speed.
Exterior & structural
Masonry, roofing, siding, concrete, framing, and excavation. Historic masonry experience is particularly valuable here.
What you can expect from us.
We have been on the other side of this. The things that make a GC worth working for are not complicated.
Scopes are written down before you start. Schedules are sequenced so you are not showing up to a site that is not ready for you. And invoices get paid on the terms we agreed rather than when the client pays us.
Our side of it
- Written scope before you mobilise. No verbal changes.
- Sequenced schedule — the site is ready when you arrive
- One point of contact — a project manager who answers
- Paid on agreed terms, not when the client pays us
- Repeat work if it goes well. We would rather build a bench than re-bid every job.
Before we can put you on a job
Certificate of insurance
General liability naming Clifton Development Group as additional insured, plus workers’ compensation for anyone on your crew.
Trade licence where applicable
Electrical and plumbing are licensed at municipal level in New York. We need the licence current in the jurisdiction where the work is.
W-9
Standard. We cannot pay without it.
Two references
GCs you have worked for recently. We will actually call them.
Before you apply
How do you pay?
Net 30 from an approved invoice as standard. On longer projects we work to a progress schedule agreed before you start. We do not pay-when-paid.
Is the work steady or one-off?
Both, initially. Most trades start with a single job. If it goes well we would rather keep using you than re-bid every project — building a reliable bench is worth more to us than shaving a margin.
What areas do you cover?
Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and Saratoga counties, roughly 45 minutes from Albany. Tell us your own radius on the application.
Do you work with sole traders or only companies?
Both, provided the insurance and licensing are in order. A one-person operation with a current COI and a good reference is entirely workable.
How soon will I hear back?
Within a week. If we do not have work in your trade right now we will say so rather than leave you waiting, and we keep the details on file.
