Poconos, PA - Finding vendors

[Michael J Murphy Jr]

I am not sure if recommending vendors is allowed in the forum. Please respond within the rules.

I have a short term rental in the Poconos of PA which has been renting well for a year now on AirBNB. Pocono Pines, PA to be specific.

I have a cleaner and HVAC contractor who have been doing a good job so far, but I feel I need a deeper bench. Ideally I would like to have a general purpose handyman available who can even check on the place for a small charge if I need or feel it should be done.

I would to do some additional work to the house such as paint and flooring, possibly cabinetry. I am a homebuilder so initially I wanted to doo the work with my team, but it just isn't enough work to justify the travel (2 hours). Also, I would like to be a little more hands off with respect to doing the actual work so I can focus on other investments.

If no recommendations of specific vendors, any help in pointing me where to find quality teams at fair prices would be helpful.

@Michael J Murphy Jr I don't have any specific recommendations, but I can say my experience has shown me that bigger contractors are not in competition with people who do those smaller jobs. So you might have some success sourcing out mid sized contracting companies and ask them if they have any subs that do smaller, more handyman type jobs. Also you can reach out to other investors who own property in the area to ask if they have any recommendations for the people who repair their properties. Property managers are a great source as well. Hope this helps.
