Need cost efficient contractor to fix up Oakland investment condo

[Matt A.]

Any recommendations toward (or advice on how to find) a cost efficient general contractor to remodel/rehab/fix-up a 1 bedroom investment condo in Oakland, California (zip 94612)?

Since this condo is an investment, every $1 I invest into its remodel/rehab/fix-up must make it worth (way) more than a $1. I reached out to a handful of general contractors on Yelp and I did not get the sense they knew how to do work with this concept in mind; they seemed to specialize in remodels/rehabs/fix-ups where the owner will live in it indefinitely, in which case it would not really matter if each $1 spent made it worth over a $1 more.

The general contractor I'm looking for should also know cost efficient ways to make the condo look beautiful/luxurious, but hard for renters to damage. For instance, a marble countertop may look great, but it seems like marble is a somewhat delicate material a renter may easily damage without meaning to. I figure it is best to use a material for the countertop that looks like some sort of marble/natural-stone, yet is as damage proof as possible.

Thanks everyone!
