Baltimore City Contractors

[Kody Veit]

Hello,

I am looking at my first property and am searching for a contractor(s) to walk the property and help establish a SOW. Definitely some HVAC and electrical work in addition to refinishing flooring. Has anyone found it best to hire a GC or individually break out the work based on experienced professionals who focus on a specific trade?

If anyone has any contractors who they have had success with in the Baltimore Area, I would greatly appreciate any references!

The decision to go with a GC or to handle the project yourself and hire your subs depends on how much time you have to spend on the property. If you don't have the time or expertise to manage the job yourself, its going to be easier to let a GC handle the project. However, most local guys that are doing this day in and day out are hiring out their own subs. Starting out, I'd say its going to be easier to go with a GC. Just try to get multiple bids on the project and check their references - see if they have a history of quality work, being on time and schedule, on budget, etc.
