@Kristi Allain Kautz I second Russel Waldron! (Doesn't hurt that he's family) For plumbing I recommend William Sellers (Keep in mind that the area is busy trying to get everyone hooked up to the new sewer system in town so you could experience delays due to that) This is my hometown and my folks operate the largest real estate brokerage in the area Cherie Miller & Associates so if you need an agent, property manager, etc, they are the folks to call.

Great thread. I recommend hiring contractors from the Desert Hot Springs area and paying them a bit more to bring their subs up that way.

@Marc Castleman if you need a painter, Russel Waldron @ RW Painting is awesome.

Hi Jeff! I own a STR in Yucca Valley and went through the plans & building permit process for a vacant lot I have. The contractor I personally know and recommend is Mike Wilson 760-668-3343. Good luck to you!

Hey Jeff, how's it going with your JT build? Do you like your GC? would you recommend him? I'm getting ready to build and would be so grateful for a referral. Thanks!

Wow... Thanks for taking the time to let me know about all these people!! I have been shopping around for the GC and it's been flake city. So things look like they're on track with the one I'm dealing with right now. We'll see. Just waiting on the plan approval from the city. Really appreciate everyone's input. This is definitely going to be a challenge which sometimes is good, we hope. Once again, Thank you!!!

I am looking as well. If anyone has recommendations on individual subs for floors and paint I would love to hear them

Hey John, do you have any reliable Desert Hot Springs recs (plumber, general handyman, electrical)? I have a property in Morongo that I'm looking to get reliable subs to work on. I've all but given up on finding a GC and am taking on that role myself

Hey Everyone...

If you have built out in Joshua Tree area and know a good, honest General Contractor that returns calls I'm ALL EARS!!! I'm in the building process and have had two GC's just flake and the process is getting very frustrating. I'm ready to go. Seems like a totally different work mentality out there as opposed to her on the east coast. Any insight is appreciated!

Thank you,

Jeff
