Looking for a GREAT General Contractor in Los Angeles County

Fred Joaquin

Hello fellow Bigger Pockets people!

Can any of you recommend a good GC in the Los Angeles area? I'm a wholesaler who frequently works with newbie rehabbers. Sometimes they have a GC already and sometimes they don't. I'd love to be able to recommend them to "my guy" (or gal) as a GC. I could potentially be referring dozens of jobs a year as many of my cash buyers are first-time or relatively new fix and flippers. Here's what I'm really looking for:

1. Good reputation

2. Quality Work

3. Accessible (texts back/calls back pretty quickly)

4. LA Local-knows the areas fairly well

5. Able to make a rehab estimate on the spot

6. Willing to meet at the potential job site during the contract negotiation process to do a rehab estimate with the guarantee that if we get the deal, they'll get the job.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Fred

Newbies are normally told 3 quotes a job, which one contractor will get it? Newbie flippers are the hardest to work with, prices are normally higher because they tend to change their mind too many times and looks for perfect quality yet won't pay for it. A change of mine normally costs a day, but if it you have 3-5 guys working, that adds up.
