Philadelphia general contractor recommendations

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend a general contractor in the Philadelphia area?  I am looking to flip a house in East Falls and want to see if I can be within the seller's asking price based on an estimate of the work needed.  I would like to get a few estimates so any referrals are much appreciated.  Thanks-

Bev

Here is a brief description of the property and scope of work:

property is 1900+ square feet, 3 story
Seller is asking in the low 100's. ARV is between 270k for 4 1/1 to low 300's for 4/2 or 4 bdr 2 1/2


Just some notes, but basically it's a gut job. - Brick or concrete for backyard - fence - update electric, heating/air system - new plumbing - repair entire exterior, paint or new stucco, remove siding in rear, add railing in front - new kitchen/bath - refinish floors - carpet in bedrooms - paint throughout - some walls, floors and ceilings need repair - extend/add room behind kitchen to add first floor laundry - new roof, windows
- Currently 4/1, would add at least 1/2 bath on 1st floor to make it a 4bdr 1 1/2 bath or full bath for master suite to make it 3bdr/2bath - No finished basement, but want it cleaned up and painted - recessed lights - The layout on the 1st level will remain the same, with the exception of the extension for the 1st floor laundry and possible 1/2 bath. The 2nd and 3rd floors are in question, depending on what is decided for the bathroom
- New exterior and interior doors- Repair/re-finish stairs and railings
