First sale - inspector found issues - need new gc
We are selling our first sfh and the buyer has asked for several repairs including a cracked footer. We had a gc look at the minor cracks and said it wasn't a concern but when our agent asked him to write a letter and use his license number, he changed his tune. Now he says it needs a couple jacks. We are not happy with our gc with other work he did so we need to cut him loose. His crew put ladders on the downspout diverters and crushed them. He also just didn't do some work he agreed to. So, we have learned our lesson about having a detailed sow but here are my questions:
- Anyone recommend a good gc/handyman for quick repairs to get a house closed?
- Anyone had luck getting a gc to repair minor things his team tore up?
- The "cracked footer" is just a small crack in the part of the foundation on the exterior wall that is poured where the rest is cinder block. What would a couple jacks typically cost?
Thanks for any and all advice!
