Philadelphia Contractors ??

[Charles Kelly]

Looking for real recommendations on investor-friendly, DEPENDABLE contractors in the area. Having many issues with permits and getting someone on the job of a Kensington row home. A little help would go a long way. Hoping someone in here can help. TY

@Kevin Paulk good idea- but I think you'll also find that the contractor listed on the permit is not actually doing the work. A lot of times contractors have some kind of "shell" entity they use and share solely to draw permits. The whole system is so backwards here in Philly and it seems every time they institute a new policy it just makes it worse.

You could try to swing by and introduce yourself to the workers and ask for a business card or phone number.  Just make sure to let them know you come in peace...
