About Karnak

A contractor that proved the standard on his own properties first.

Karnak Contracting LLC is a Class A commercial licensed general contractor and insurance reconstruction specialist based in Arlington, Virginia, holding a commercial Class A license in Virginia, Maryland and DC.

Our Story

Karnak Contracting started with a property investor buying homes to renovate and rent, including his own short term rentals. Eight properties later, that hands on experience taught what actually holds up under real tenants, real weather and real inspections, not just what looks good on move in day.

Renovating on your own dime changes how you build. You stop specifying things that photograph well and start specifying things that survive a tenant turnover. You learn which subfloor prep prevents a callback two winters later, and which shortcut costs three times what it saved.

That same Class A license now takes on customer work for homeowners, property managers and insurance professionals across Northern Virginia, Washington DC and suburban Maryland.

Our Approach

  • Craftsmanship.
  • Accountability.
  • Clarity.
  • Follow Through.

Detail Driven Craft

Complex work is judged by the details noticed every day. An edge, a seam, a joint. We treat those as the job, not the finishing touch.

Documented, End to End

Written estimates with clear line items and a confirmed schedule, so there is no ambiguity for you, your lender or your adjuster.

Owner On The Job

The person who quotes the work is accountable for how it gets built, and reachable the whole time it is happening.

Licensed At The Top Tier

Every job is pulled under a VA Class A license, the tier with no dollar cap on project size. Not a workaround, not a lower classification.

Built For The Long Run

Standards drawn from renovating and operating our own rental properties, where shortcuts come back as callbacks two winters later.

Claim Ready Paperwork

Reconstruction scope documented the way carriers expect it, so approvals move instead of bouncing back for more detail.

Our Process

  1. 01

    Walkthrough

    We assess the property in person, with insurance claim documents in hand if it is a reconstruction job.

  2. 02

    Written Scope

    An itemized estimate with quantities, materials and timeline before anything starts.

  3. 03

    Scheduled Work

  4. 04

    Final Walkthrough
