What if your remodel or new build could be done well AND do good for others?

At Revolution Workshop, we make that possible.

Revolution Workshop is a certified general contractor. We hire our alumni to take on small projects for property owners, nonprofits, and community development groups who need work done.

When you hire us, you aren’t just getting a construction team. You’re helping us build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive city. Your project becomes a small revolutionary act that makes an impact not only on your own life, but on a better future for all of us. Sounds pretty good, right?

If you have a project you’d like our help on, please email contracting@revolutionworkshop.org for current availability or to join our waitlist.
