Where Security Meets Finish.

Drywall, metal stud framing, insulation, acoustical ceilings, painting, flooring, and specialty coatings — seven scopes delivered under one contract for retail, commercial, federal, and secure facility projects.

Services

Seven scopes, one contract.

Every scope below is carried on the same subcontract, sequenced by the same people, and answered for by the same point of contact.

Drywall

01

Hanging and finishing on new and existing framing, from utility spaces through Level 5 walls that will take a critical light or a high-gloss coating. Fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies built to the tested detail, not to a close approximation of it.

  • Level 1–5 finishes
  • Rated & acoustic assemblies
  • Shaft wall
  • Patch & repair

Metal Stud Framing

02

Light-gauge partitions, soffits, bulkheads, and ceiling suspension. We lay out against the MEP coordination drawings before we set track, so the trades that follow are not chasing a wall that landed two inches off.

  • Deck-to-deck partitions
  • Soffits & bulkheads
  • Curtain wall backup
  • Layout

Insulation

03

Thermal and acoustic insulation set in the cavity before the wall closes up. We sequence it against framing and drywall so nothing gets buried out of order and no assembly has to be opened back up for an inspector.

  • Fiberglass batts
  • Mineral wool
  • Rigid foam board
  • Spray foam — open cell

Acoustical Ceilings

04

Suspended grid and tile, specialty panels, clouds, and baffles. Reflected ceiling plans get reconciled against sprinkler, lighting, and diffuser layouts before the first hanger wire goes up — the cheapest place to solve a conflict is on paper.

  • Suspended grid & tile
  • Clouds & baffles
  • Specialty & linear
  • RCP coordination

Painting

05

Prep, prime, and finish coats on new and existing substrates. Low-VOC systems and off-hours phasing for buildings that stay occupied, plus the mockups and control samples your architect will ask for before the first wall gets rolled.

  • Surface prep
  • Low-VOC systems
  • Mockups & control samples
  • Occupied-space phasing

Flooring

06

Resilient, LVT, carpet tile, and base. We test moisture and prep the substrate before anything gets adhered, because a floor that fails at month six is a warranty problem nobody budgeted for.

  • Moisture testing
  • Substrate prep & leveling
  • LVT, resilient, carpet tile
  • Base & transitions

Specialty Coatings

07

Epoxy, urethane, and high-performance wall and floor systems for spaces with cleanability, chemical, static, or abrasion requirements — back-of-house, labs, equipment rooms, and anywhere the spec calls out performance rather than a color.

  • Epoxy & urethane floors
  • Seamless wall systems
  • Chemical & abrasion resistant
  • Static control

Preconstruction

Conflicts found on paper, not in the field

Before mobilizing, we work the coordination set against our own layout: framing lines, soffit elevations, grid centerlines, and the clearances the mechanical and electrical trades need above the ceiling. Interferences get raised as RFIs during preconstruction instead of becoming change orders after the walls are closed.

Markets

The finish is the same standard everywhere. The access rules are not.

What changes between a storefront and a controlled space is who can get through the door, when work can happen, and what has to be documented afterward.

Retail

Buildouts, rollouts, and remodels driven by an opening date. Multi-site work sequenced so the same crew standard shows up at every location.

Commercial

Tenant fit-outs, base building work, and renovations in occupied office and institutional space. Night and weekend phasing when the floor cannot go down.

Federal

Work performed to the submittal, safety, and site-access standards federal projects require, with the paper trail your contracting officer expects.

Where we are different

Secure facilities

Finish work inside controlled space is a logistics problem before it is a trade problem. We plan around escorted access, badging lead times, controlled tool and material handling, and inspection of the assemblies once they are closed up. Our crews work to ICD 705 requirements, including the continuity and construction detailing those assemblies depend on.

ICD 705 accreditation applies to the facility, not to the contractor. Edge Group builds to those requirements; accreditation is granted to the site by the accrediting official.

Adjacent markets

Different door. Same discipline.

Aviation, healthcare, and education projects run on the same constraint as secure work: a credential at the door, a window that does not move, and documentation once the assembly is closed. The rules differ. The discipline does not.

Aviation

SIDA and AOA badging, work inside live terminals, and night phasing around operations. Badging is issued per project. Our crews already mobilize on escorted access and lead-time-driven schedules.

Healthcare

ICRA barriers, negative pressure containment, and interim life safety measures on patient-occupied floors. Monolithic and washable ceiling assemblies specified for clinical space.

Education

ANSI S12.60 classroom acoustics, abuse-resistant wall assemblies, and a reopening date that does not move. Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage reporting handled in house.

Edge Group is qualifying for work in these markets. Project references are available for our federal, secure facility, commercial, and retail work.

How we work

Built for the people who have to schedule us.

A number you can build a bid around

Scope-by-scope pricing with the assumptions and exclusions written out, so you know what is carried and what is not before you put it in your number.

One point of contact

An owner is on every job. Questions about manpower, sequencing, or a change go to a person who can answer them the same day.

Coordination before installation

We review layouts and RCPs against the other trades early. Conflicts caught in coordination cost a phone call; conflicts caught in the field cost a week.

Edge Group is a new company built by people who are not new to this trade.

Qualifications

The paperwork a prequalification asks for, ready before you ask.

Both owners came up through the field before running estimating, preconstruction, and operations, with roughly sixty years between them on commercial interiors in this market. What follows is what a preconstruction group actually needs to see.

The people on your job

Foremen and finish mechanics who run the work in the field, moving from framing to finish without changing companies.

Careers

We're hiring across the DC metro area.

Carrying seven scopes under one contract means the work does not stop when one trade wraps. We are building crews who can move from framing to finish without changing companies.

U.S. citizenship is required for our secure and federal projects.

A portion of our work is performed under contracts that restrict site access to U.S. citizens. Other openings are open to anyone legally authorized to work in the United States.

Drawings, spec sections, and the bid date are enough to get started. If the scope is still forming, a narrative and a rough square footage will do — we will tell you what we would need to firm it up.
