Hey BP! I have quite a bit of small repairs that need to be completed in a rental I have. I had a general contractor come in and they quoted me 106k for everything. I'm fairly certain they were just overwhelmed and started to ball park the projects. As an example. I had to get my circuit breaker panel replaced. The quote I got from the contractor was 6.6k. I found a smaller company off Angies List to get it done for 2.2k. 

We're looking at tile work, brick work, carpet replacement, cabinet repair and other jobs. 

Any reliable references would be great! Thanks!

@Elizabeth Blauwiekel @Sam Valme I have a really great contractor that I like. I have used him for years. I always think his prices are high until I get other estimates that are always higher. More importantly, he is always on time, his work is outstanding, and he is just around a great guy. I almost hesitate to give his name, because I am preparing to use him on a rehab, but he has done right by me so many times, it is only fair that I share him. I can't post his contact info outside the Marketplace, so message me and I will give you his contact info.
