Contractors versus running crews for fix and flips

[Jesse Buchanan]

A partner and I are in the midst of two fix and flips northeast of Tulsa and haven't been particularly impressed with the quality and speed of licensed contractors. For what seemed like a decent amount of money there were still paint drips on wood trim and other cosmetic errors that shouldn't have been made. My partner who's out there has shifted to running his own crews of labor to keep the jobs going.

Should I just keep trying out different contractors or does this just come with the territory now with prices and the scarcity of contractors?

Thanks,
