There is no difference between the two. It’s really just a question of semantics. Some general contractors like to focus on particular types of projects, such as residential renovations. In contrast, others may focus on new residential construction or a mix of new construction and residential construction. At A-Resilient Contracting, LLC, we are a general residential contractor capable of handling virtually any remodeling or renovation project you have, as well as new construction and other types of projects.
