Contractor referrals in Pittsburgh?
Hello Pittsburgh BP crew.
I have two single family homes in Pittsburgh that are undergoing demo. I am considering firing current GC, things are not moving fast enough... 4 months to deadline and demo just finished... it was a complete gut all the way down to the studs, now need to finish up in 4 months.
I know it will not happen on time, so I need to start looking at other options for them to look at the property and see if they can work within the budget. I will have a call with current GC next week to get a feel for their realistic timeline, if they BS again that might be it, then I will start calling others.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Andres

Hello Andres - it depends on the size of the homes and the number of people working for the GC, but 4 months to finish them is certainly doable (assuming that they are dedicated to your projects and not jumping between 5 different ones).
I will DM you a GC - give him a call if you'd like - the issue is that most GCs/contractors (if they're at all decent) are booked solid for the next 4-6 months or more, so it may be in your best interest to stick with the guy you have now and try and manage them as best as you can.
