About Quinlan Contracting
A veteran-owned remodeling company built on a simple idea: do what you say you'll do.
Why We Started Quinlan Contracting
Quinlan Contracting started with a frustration that most Pittsburgh homeowners know firsthand. Across years in the trade, owner Trent Quinlan kept hearing the same stories: the contractor who stopped answering the phone halfway through, the quote that crept up with every change order, the crew that left a mess and never came back. Every contractor in the area advertised the same things, good communication, punctuality, quality work, and very few actually delivered them.
Trent, a veteran, built Quinlan Contracting to be the company he'd want working on his own home. That meant running every project with an in-house crew instead of handing jobs off to whoever was available. It meant answering the phone, showing up when he said he would, and standing behind a quoted price. It also meant years of patiently building a roster of skilled, dependable tradesmen, because a finished space is only as good as the people who build it.
Today, Quinlan Contracting remodels homes throughout Pittsburgh's western suburbs, from single bathrooms to full second-story additions. The work has grown, but the standard hasn't changed.
Core Values
No Surprises
You hear about any cost or scope change before the work happens, so the final bill never catches you off guard.
Craftsmanship Over Shortcuts
We'd rather break out the old concrete and do it right than work around it and hope you don't notice.
Treat the Home Like It's Ours
We use other entrances when we can, clean up at the end of every day, and keep the disruption to your life as small as possible while we work.
Do What You Say
If we quote a price, that's the price. If we give you a date, we work to hit it. The whole company is built on following through.
The People Behind the Work
-
Trent Quinlan
OWNER
Trent started Quinlan Contracting in 2020. Prior to starting his own business, he spent years working in residential contracting while earning a degree in Business Management at Franklin University. He joined the Marine Corps at 17, which helped him develop a strong work ethic. This carried into his trade work and his goal of building a company of his own. What began as a small, hands-on operation has grown into a trusted local contracting business serving homeowners throughout the greater Pittsburgh area.

Mitchell Quinlan
CARPENTER
Mitchell Quinlan joined the Quinlan Contracting team as a finish carpenter, bringing the kind of attention to detail that high-end remodels demand. He recently joined the family business but he's already earning the trust of homeowners the same way the rest of the team does: by showing up, doing the work right, and treating every project like it's going in his own house.
What Makes Us Stand Out
Quinlan Contracting has served Pittsburgh homeowners since 2020 and holds a 4.9-star rating across more than 40 Google reviews. We are a veteran-owned, fully licensed and insured general contractor, accredited and in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.
Our work spans home additions, whole-home remodels, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and basement finishing throughout Moon Township, Sewickley, Coraopolis, Robinson, and the surrounding Pittsburgh area. Because we manage every project with our own in-house crew, the same standard of communication and craftsmanship carries through every job, whether it's a powder room or a six-figure addition.
Who We're a Fit For
We work best with homeowners who care more about getting it done right than getting it done cheapest, and who want a single team they can trust with a major project.
This is for you if:
You're planning an addition, a whole-home remodel, or a full kitchen, bath, or basement
You value clear communication and a price that doesn't move
You'd rather hire one accountable crew than juggle a list of subcontractors
You're investing in a home you plan to enjoy for years
Your project budget starts around $10,000 or more
How We’re Different
One crew, never handed off: The team that starts your project is the team that finishes it. No revolving door of subcontractors.
We answer the phone: Trent is known for never missing a call or a quote appointment. You won't be left wondering where things stand.
The quote is the price: We stick to what we quoted. Any change is priced and approved with you before the work is done.
We finish what we start: On time and on budget isn't a slogan here. It's the line our reviews repeat over and over.
"Trent is the best. Every time we work with Quinlan Contracting, we're thrilled with the results, price, and quality of the work." — Kristen W.
"He does what he says he's going to do. He shows up on time. Cleans up his mess every day. Tells you about price changes before the work is done."
— Tabitha M.
"It's hard to find contractors you can fully trust, but Trent is definitely one of them. We will absolutely use Trent and his team again." — Janelle W.
