Beautiful, what a gem!
Would you mind sharing how did you find the contractors for this project, who did you use in terms of design/choice of materials, etc.?
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words Elena. Happy to share a little bit more about our process.
For contractors--we started with a wide search between the following
1. Personal references from our coaches/mentors
2. Online reviews
3. References/Recommendations from our architect and hard money lender contacts
4. Facebook real estate groups
Ultimately we found our GC for these two projects on a Facebook Group called 'The Polish Contractors Network." (;) I know that sounds kinda funny, but...)
It's worth noting that my partner/fiance has been a GC for the last 20+ years. However, since our plan is to scale our business, we decided that he wouldn't GC our projects and instead act as a Project Manager, overseeing the contractors and process as needed. But I would be remiss if I didn't admit that it was a HUGE help just having his wealth of knowledge and expertise when searching for and hiring a GC. Hiring and dealing with the GC definitely has been the most frustrating part of the process for me, personally, and without him (Gregory, my partner), I don't know where this project would be right now.
