I'm out of Austin Texas and starting a rehab in San Antonio soon. I need a reliable/dependable contractor I can trust to get the job done with me being remote. Anyone have any recommendations?

Replied

San Antonio is a difficult place to find reliable labor (something I've been working on for almost 4 years now).

Any specific trades you need?

More important thing to make sure you don't get ripped off is working out your draw schedule. I never pay for labor up front, I will pay for materials (but only by calling the supply house and paying directly).

I pay 25% of labor when 50% of the job is completed and the rest after the job is totally finished, inspected, all permits are closed, etc.
