Southeastern MA Subcontractors

[Nicholas D.]

Hello all, I am looking for anyone who may be able to reference some Subcontractors that they have used personally in the SE Massachusetts area. I am currently doing some renovations to a newly purchased 4-unit and have been using more of a handy man to do the minor work. Going forward I am trying to develop a solid Reno strategy as to what I specifically want to accomplish on MFH to keep it uniform (I understand each property can be different case by case) to some extent, but wish to see them all be in the same working order and ideally pretty identical in what they look like inside, layout being the exception. In doing so I would like to try and build a solid pool of subcontractors that I can get quoted from before officially making offers that I can present them property information during my analysis and walkthrough. I.E. Electricians, plumbers, drywall, carpenter etc.. Looking for more investor friendly subs, people that are happy to build a relationship for future business instead of making a killing off one deal. Any help or advice is much appreciated! Thank you in advance! -Nicholas

Hey @Nicholas D.!

Just a quick note, and I don't mean this to sound like ANYTHING but me trying to help bro!

Your post sounds like you are looking for Contractors that will do more (a bunch of quotes on properties that you may or may not get accepted offers on with a quick turnaround time) that you will pay less (but give them MORE jobs that you will pay them less on) . This won't get you quality people IMHO. I'm not saying get taken advantage of of course! But get a few referrals, let them know you are looking for bids so they keep their profit margins respectable and get a big list of people! Everyone in the trades are busy at different times and ya never know who you are going to need to call when your "go to" is too busy. Oh and make sure you get your permits pulled if ya need em! Im in Central MA and there is a major issue right now with unpermitted work causing major resale issues. 

Lots of good peeps on here that should have some great local referrals for ya. Good luck!
