Looking for a General Contractor for Estimate - Norristown, PA

Posted

I am looking for a general contractor for a home that I am pursuing as my first home purchase. Attached are pictures that I have taken today. The crawlspace pictures show water puddling and some of the beam(s) damage. The one picture showing the hallway inside the house is where I think the main beam crosses from point to point.

My goals are to be able to move in, fix the water issues promptly with a deeper sump pump and french drain system, and then have the main beam and joints repaired. A deal breaker would be if I could not live in the property while the work is being done since I would have to move in at the time of purchase.

I have signed the agreement of sale with a contingency to back out or renegotiate by January 30th where I am hoping to obtain an estimate as soon as possible. Please let me know if anything else would be helpful and I greatly look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks!

Mike Lukach

I recommend Rick Smith of Ameen general contracting. He helped me get my first rental property up to code and is always quick with estimates.
