Let's Swap Contractor Info!

Hi, are there any investors out there interested in swapping contractor info?

I've come to realize just how important it is to consistently grow your list of quality contractors. This is especially true given how booked out some contractors have become. I had a carpenter back out at the last second and I didn't have any backup which really threw off my schedule. I personally feel like carpenters are one of the most mysterious and aloof people out there...

Anyways, I request a lot of bids for each part of the rehab process and along the way I've found some pretty great people that are cost competitive and provide high quality work.

For example, I can provide some pretty solid recommendations for:

  • Egress windows, electrician, window installation, storm doors, flooring (carpet/vinyl planks), hardwood floor refinishing.

I can provide contacts for other jobs like carpentry, drywall, etc. but the ones listed above are the best of the best.

I've found it pretty challenging to find a reliable handyman and carpenter. I've had to wing these two by finding whoever was available on Thumbtack (which actually works out really well sometimes). I'm searching for someone who is more established than the people listed on Thumbtack, Home Advisor, etc. because I feel these sites tend to have contractors who are a little more flaky (but you really can get lucky and find great people there too)!

Let's connect, share our info, and support each other towards our path to financial independence!
