Contractor, Sub-contractor, and Handyman In Louisville, KY

Hello,

I will be closing on a SF rental property in Louisville around the beginning of January and I know the property needs some electrical, plumbing, and foundation work.  I have an inspection report and 1 estimate already from a local GC.  However, I was looking to obtain several more bids from sub-contractors or other GC's in the area.  Does anyone have any recommendations (electricians, plumbers, GC's, roofers, and handymen)?  Looking for people who work with investors on a regular basis.   

Thank you!

Hey Maya, I don't use GC's.  I use subcontractors.  I run a crew of 5 people.  I purchase all materials from Lowes or HD and have them delivered.

I use a KRIEA plumber, insurance broker, cpa, closing attorney, and hard money lender. They all advertise. There is a good roofer and Nov had a GC advertising.  

Honestly, I prefer to hire hourly and run my own crews. Just call me for references. They take too long to type.
