Working with Contractors
What a nightmare trying to find a contractor to do a small shower. All contractors want $10,000 and I’m like what the heck. I screened and screened and searched up and down and right and left till I found a unlicensed felon who wants to do a shower remodel for $1500 plus materials separate. He did a great job with the neighbors and I expect the same. I did a lot of waiting around and chasing around and 100s of phone calls till I found my unlicensed dude. Lifesaver. Contractors charging $10,000 for a small shower redo is a crime and should be punishable. Tons and tons of contractors who want to screw the public. So all your investor talk and financial greatnesses will be ruined when u need repairs and “screwed by the contractor “. Good luck y’all.
