Looking For Recommendations For Contractors.

[David Reeves]

I am doing a fix and flip in Gatlinburg, Tn and looking for any recommendations for a contractor in that area.

David,

  Timur gave you solid advice. I have approached contractors on jobs sites many times to get their contact information and find out what it is they specialize in doing. I do not hire general contractors who take a cut of my profit to call in others to do the actual work. I call the specific contractors I need....plumber, electrician, HVAC, mason and so on myself. 

Timur is also correct when he says the good ones are very busy. In my area good builders are booked for over a year, my electrician has six months of work lined up, and my excavator is booked for about the same. Fortunately, because I give so much work to these folks they are more than willing to fit my projects in. For example, my electrician came and knocked out my fix and flip project the same week I called him even though he has six months of work lined up. 

On a side note I live just outside of Mountain City TN not too far from your project. It would be great to connect so I can follow your future projects and we can share what's working in the area.
