Stop cycling through unreliable subcontractors. TGA Install's Contractor Partnership Program gives general contractors a single, dependable trade partner for carpentry, specialty installation, custom millwork, and framing across every project. We build long-term relationships with GCs who value consistency, communication, and craftsmanship they can stake their reputation on.
Not every GC needs a trade partner program. But if you're building a business where reliability and consistency matter more than chasing the lowest bid, this partnership was designed for you.
You've been burned by subs who no-show, deliver inconsistent quality, or disappear mid-project. You need a trade partner who shows up on schedule, communicates proactively, and delivers the same standard of work on every single job. TGA Install was built to be the subcontractor you stop looking for.
Your project pipeline is expanding, but your roster of trusted subs hasn't kept pace. You need a carpentry and installation partner who can scale with your growth: handling one project this month and three the next without dropping quality or blowing timelines.
You're expanding into the Charlotte metro or broader North Carolina market and don't have established trade relationships here. You need a local partner who understands the region, has supplier relationships in place, and can integrate into your workflow from day one.
You handle design and project management in-house but need one reliable partner for all installation scope: framing, millwork, trim carpentry, and specialty installs. You want to simplify your subcontractor management by consolidating trades under one accountable team.
You're developing multiple properties and need the same caliber of finish work on every build. Inconsistency between subcontractors across projects creates quality control headaches and damages your brand. You need a partner who delivers uniform results regardless of project size or location.
Not Sure If a Partnership Is Right for You? If you have a single upcoming project rather than an ongoing need, we still want to hear from you. Our first project together is how every partnership begins. Reach out and let's discuss what you're working on. There's no minimum commitment to get started.
Learn MoreThe TGA Family of Companies TGA Install works directly with general contractors to provide the specialty installation services needed in a new build or renovation.
We don't treat trade partnerships as transactional. Every partnership with TGA Install follows a deliberate process designed to build understanding, establish trust, and create the kind of working relationship where your projects run smoother over time, not just on the first job.
We begin with an introductory meeting to understand your business, project types, and trade needs so we can determine if we are the right fit for each other.
We assign a dedicated project lead and integrate into your reporting structure to execute the first project together as a working interview for both sides.
Established partners receive a dedicated account manager, priority crew scheduling, streamlined estimating, and continuous improvement based on accumulated project experience.
TGA Commercial works with business owners, property managers, and general contractors across North and South Carolina. From Charlotte to the Lake Norman towns and into the Rock Hill corridor, we deliver renovation, construction, and specialty trade services on occupied and active commercial sites.
There are no formal prerequisites or application fees. We look for GCs who value reliability and quality over lowest-bid pricing, have a steady pipeline of projects requiring carpentry, installation, or millwork scope, and are willing to invest in a collaborative working relationship. The partnership develops organically: it starts with one project and grows based on mutual fit. We verify insurance and licensing as part of our standard onboarding, and we expect the same from our GC partners.
We don't enforce a rigid minimum. Our partnerships span everything from single-room custom millwork installations to full-scope framing packages on large commercial builds. That said, our partnership model is designed for GCs with recurring needs rather than one-time small jobs. If you have a steady flow of work that includes carpentry, framing, millwork, or specialty installation, the project size matters less than the ongoing relationship.
TGA Install maintains comprehensive general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and commercial auto insurance. We provide certificates of insurance tailored to each project's requirements and can add your firm as an additional insured. Our coverage meets or exceeds the requirements of major commercial GCs and developers. We can provide specific coverage details and limits during our initial consultation.
Priority scheduling is one of the primary benefits of an ongoing partnership. As we understand your project pipeline and historical patterns, we proactively reserve crew capacity for your upcoming work. Established partners receive first consideration when scheduling demands compete, meaning during peak seasons when crews are in high demand, your projects don't get pushed back. We formalize this through quarterly planning sessions where we review your upcoming pipeline and allocate resources accordingly.
We serve all of North Carolina with concentrated operations in the Charlotte metro area, Lake Norman region, and Triangle (Raleigh-Durham). For established partners, we regularly travel to projects across the state: Asheville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and beyond. Geographic reach expands as partnerships deepen. For a new partnership, proximity to our Cornelius headquarters helps during the initial integration phase, but it's not a requirement.
Communication structure is established during our initial consultation and customized to match your firm's workflow. Most partners prefer daily field reports from our crew lead, direct communication between our project lead and your superintendent, and weekly schedule coordination. We adapt to your tools, whether that's Procore, BuilderTrend, email, text, or phone calls. The key principle is proactive communication: we surface issues before they become problems, and we never let a question go unanswered.
TGA Install specializes in four core trade areas: Carpentry (rough and finish carpentry, framing, blocking, backing, and structural carpentry for commercial projects), Custom Millwork (cabinet installation, custom built-ins, reception desks, feature walls, shelving systems, and architectural millwork elements), Specialty Installation (specialized mounting and installation including commercial fixtures, display systems, acoustic panels, wall treatments, and other elements requiring precision installation), and Framing (complete framing packages for commercial projects including walls, floors, roofs, and structural elements).
Yes. We recognize that strong partnerships create value in multiple directions. Established trade partners who refer other GCs or project opportunities to TGA Install are eligible for our referral program. Details are discussed as part of the partnership relationship, and we keep it straightforward and mutually beneficial. Similarly, when we encounter projects that need a GC's services beyond our scope, we refer within our partner network first.
