About GWC General Contractors

Summit View sits where the Ahtanum foothills start to rise above Yakima's west side, high desert country where winter shows up less as deep snow than as a hard, dry cold that can drop fast once the sun drops behind the ridge. GWC's crews spend most of the year framing and remodeling out here, so a job site half-buried after an overnight freeze is just one more obstacle to clear before the day's real work can start. Wind off the ridge itself carries actual snow some winters that never reaches the valley floor a few hundred feet below, a detail every crew that works up here learns fast. Plowing a driveway or a construction access road means working quickly in that wind, since a cleared path can rime back over within the hour if you don't get salt down behind the blade. By midmorning, with the frost burned off and the wind easing, the driveway's clear and the framing crew is back to the job it came for.
