What's Going on with Contractors these days

[Denise Brown-Puryear]

We decided to wait until this year to start our last 2 projects but we've been having some difficulty finding contractors and trades  for our last 2 property renovations.  I project manage our renos; have a scope of work as well as layouts.  I've done walk-throughs given them the package and don't hear back from anyone.  At least call and say you're too busy.  I can respect that.  Never had this issue pre-covid.  Wondering what's going on???  They're located in Greensboro, NC.  One is a duplex and the other is a single family home.  All our other properties are fully rented and running smoothly.  Anyone else having this issue?  And, secondly, do you know of any reliable contractors and/or trades in the Greensboro, NC area?  Thanks.
