Complete Rehab in DC: How many bids should I get

[Jacob Chaney]

Hello All,

I'm closing on a 6 unit apartment building on Capitol Hill by Dec 6. and two of the upper two units have been gutted down to their walls. These will need complete rehab and renovation.

This is my first time doing a project of this size and I was wondering two things: 1) How many bids/estimates do you usually get to make sure you're not being overcharged and 2) Do you have any recommendations for good reputable contractors in the DMV area that deliver on time/budget?

Thanks BPers
