Contractors for house repairs

[Marcela Patino]

How to find the best contractors for house renovation or house maintance? Where should I start?. Would you value quality vs price?

[Kerry Baird]

I like using the NextDoor app and asking.  Similarly would be your local Facebook groups.  A third option would be Yelp, and read reviews.  I really do like personal recommendations best, though.  I value quality.

1. Go to Home Depot at 6 am 

2. Walk flips and project sites in neighborhoods 

3. Trial and error 

Finding good contractors is a true grind

And don’t forget. Even the great ones. Those that are great for months and/or years. Will suddenly vanish forever. It always seems the best workers are the worst business owners. If you get lucky their spouses run the business instead of working somewhere else.

How much do you know about construction?  You can always babysit them on some easy or moderate jobs to judge their skill and value.

Took me at least 4 tries to find an electrician that was reasonably priced and knew what he was doing. it took trial, error, issues and money to get through the first three, but now I have someone I can trust.  Unfortunately, like any job/employee, there are some poor performers among the larger population.

Go to projects that are under construction and inquire. People that are actually working are always better than cold calling. Then you can inspect the quality at the same time.
