General Contractor Recommendation in Northern New Jersey?

[Felix L.]

Hi All. I'm looking to get into my first buy and hold property.  From the wrecks I'm seeing on the market right now it looks like it might be a safer play to plan on a complete gut renovation then to expect a moderate fix-up and risk finding more extensive problems then initially estimated. Can anyone recommend a good General Contractor in Northern New Jersey?

(As an alternative what is the best way to find one? Is AngiesList.com any good?)

Thanks in advance,

Felix

hi @felix 

I would ask for 3-4 price quotes on angieslist just to run the numbers. 

I've just finished a renovation on one of my units with a general contractor named Mike. He is very reliable and putting a lot of effort to keep his good rank on angieslist.

Please let him know I gave him as a reference :)

Good luck

@Lior Solomon are you saying that 3-4 contractors on AL were able to give you bids online and without seeing your property?

Thanks @Lior Solomon .

How extensive was the rehab?

@Ibrahim Hughes they all came in to see the place.

@Felix L. no its wasn't such an extensive rehab. redid the kitchen, floors, front porch and other minor issues.
