Post: Contractor recommendation for bathroom in Charlotte NC?

Looking for someone to help fix up a bathroom in Charlotte.  I don't have a great contractor contact - if anyone has someone they have used before I would appreciate it.  

If you want to offer any suggestions as to how to redo this, I would love to hear it as well.   Here are the pictures:  http://imgur.com/a/Qkyri

I am looking to:

- Improve the shower area (it looks OK in the pictures, but it looks really bad in person) by removing the tub and moving to a nice walk-in shower.


- Figuring out a way to reduce the amount of doors that clutter the area (the entry door, and the two doors to the left of the entry probably cant be removed). The first door to the left of the entry is to a closet, the second is to an area for the washer dryer. I do not want to attempt to take some of the closet for this remodel FYI. - Bringing my bathroom up to the level of the rest of the condo

This is a loft and everything else inside is exposed brick, steel beams, original hardwood floors, with a lot of original art on the walls. This is the major eye-sore in the place.

Beautiful house.  Congratulations

I have a number of friends in Charlotte who have gotten their REL.  They all did it through http://www.superiorschoolnc.com/ - the school has places all around North Carolina to take classes though - and more importantly online continuing education classes.

It used to be owned by Bill Gallagher - I hear he may have sold it now - but it still the one they all use for continuing education etc...

Good luck

Sometimes you have to save your own sanity.

I think hiring a property management company and stepping away from the whole process would be liberating for you.  This renter obviously is never going to get better. I would rather let a pro deal with it - even if it cost me some cash.  I am sure those lawyers you are working with are costing a lot.

I am a new member of the forum.  I am located in Charlotte, North Carolina and am interested in / involved in buying and renting properties in and around Charlotte.    I found the forum because I kept searching for answers on certain questions and BiggerPockets kept coming up - so I thought it would be a great idea to jump in as well.

I look forward to being a part the community.  Thanks for having me.
