About Us

DeadTree General Contracting was built to solve problems—not just complete projects.
Founded in 2022 and backed by over a decade of hands-on experience, we specialize in residential and light commercial work including kitchens, bathrooms, structural repairs, decking, and full renovations.
What sets us apart isn’t just what we build—it’s how we approach every job. We don’t rely on guesswork or shortcuts. Every project is evaluated with a focus on structural integrity, long-term performance, and code-compliant execution.
Every project is directly overseen by ownership, ensuring consistent quality, clear communication, and accountability from start to finish. When issues arise—as they often do in construction—we address them head-on with practical solutions, not excuses.
We operate with detailed scopes of work, transparent expectations, and a problem-solving mindset that keeps projects moving forward without confusion or surprises.
Whether you’re upgrading your home, repairing failed work, or taking on a full renovation, DeadTree is built for clients who want it done right the first time.

      Excellent! Good contractors are hard to find in Southern Illinois. Many do shoddy work, are not professional and simply don’t care about the results. Luckily for Southern Illinois, Kishan and crew are the opposite. They do great work, are professional and actually take pride in their work. We were on a very tight deadline and Kishan and crew finished on time and on budget. They even stayed very late one day to ensure everything was done on time. We did have to ask for updates occasionally on timing but that’s OK. Every time I called, they answered and let me know when they would be at the job site. I was also very impressed with their speed of work. No goofin’ around here….they were hard at work on the job site and worked quickly to complete the job. A great addition to the southern Illinois contractor ecosystem!

      Dead Tree General Contracting helped us with interior renovations and we couldn’t be happier. Walls, paint, and finishes all look flawless. The house feels brand new.

      After the January ice storm we had a hole in our roof and damage to our deck and fence. Kishan and his team were fantastic to work with getting everything fixed. Kishan stayed in contact the whole time and his roofing crew stayed and worked into the dark to get the roof repaired before more rain came. I would definitely recommend them for any job you might have.
