Cannot Find a Contractor or Carpenter That Will Help
I am currently based out of Gilbert Arizona. It is close to Phoenix. I cannot find a carpenter or general contractor to install baseboards for a staircase and a bathroom. I am estimating this will cost 500-800 for labor and materials. I have tried reaching out to more than 15 places and I am not having much luck with people picking up the phone. When they do pick up they generally say it is too small of a job or that they do not specialize in that kind of thing. How do I find someone for this job and someone I might be able to use in the future as well?
For frame of reference, this is my first rental property and I am terrible with power tools.

Grady, I am a handyman based out of Phoenix, but have taken jobs all over the valley. I have multiple references that would be more than willing to give you verify and recommend my services. I’m absolutely not concerned at all about it being “too small” of a job. I can give you a flat rate quote or hourly.
I have been devouring BP podcasts all day long for weeks now, maybe we could work something out, you can tell me how got started/tips&advice/etc and in return I’ll give you a discounted rate on any future jobs you need done, a little quid pro quo action, I’m sold on the benefits of RE investments, but would like to not make those costly rookie mistakes. You can reach me at 480-243-0486; call/text your preference. Look forward to talking with you
