Reliable Contractors in Central Florida/Orlando

[Emanuel Rivero]

Hi!  Wholesaler/Investor here in Central Florida.  I'm looking for referrals for contractors in the area that can go to some of my appointments with me and give me a repair estimate/scope of work for my projects or wholesale deals I'm flipping out.  I'd expect to pay for this initially, then as I hire them for future projects and build a relationship, I'd ask them to give me free estimates.  My question is two fold:

1 - has anyone ever paid for a contractor's time for site visit/scope of work/repair estimate?  If yes, what's a reasonable fee?

2 - anyone have referrals for solid contractors in the area that may be able to help with what i've described above.  

thanks!
