They strive to combine individual attention and professional management with the highest level of craftsmanship to ensure each client receives the accountability and results they deserve.What we offer.Altounian Construction has the capacity of a large general contractor, but maintains the close client relationships and attention to detail that only a smaller firm can offer. The company employs more than 50 full-time skilled tradesmen who possess proven expertise and trade experience. But unlike larger contractors, Altounian self-performs many job tasks, such as millwork, rough and finish carpentry and concrete. This translates into higher quality, reduced costs and more timely delivery of key project components.
