General Contractor

[Keithq Rueter]

Hello Everyone, this is my first post and I am very impressed with the knowledge and expertise of the BP members. I am a newbie in the DFW marketplace and need to secure a competent and trustworthy contractor that can assist in determining "solid" cost for repairs both for property that will be "flipped" and for those that will be retained for an extended amount of time. I know that good GC's are usually tied up on jobs and have several waiting after completion of their current rehab and as everyone knows, time is of the essence. I have access to lists of contractors but would appreciate your feedback to help me narrow down the list a bit. Also, do most contractors require 50% on start, and remainder upon completion? Thanks in advance...
