There are usually reasons why occupations get reputations.

Yes, I have searched, but I am looking for recommendations for reputable and decently priced sites.

Anything else I measure and list then call or go to my two local suppliers (HD is ALWAYS more expensive than local lumber company!)

I ask all of my suppliers to give me a discount for cash, or else I want revolving accounts with 60 day terms.

I'll need new electric service, furnace & hot water heater . . . so, all and all, there is no MAJOR renovating, simply getting these 2 units operational. . .If you know of any good, reliable, and reputable contractors in the area, please PM me, or send me their details.

I work very closely with a very reputable developer.

I learned from the big boys (Commercial developers and contractors) that the three are the best, also you need a good reputable contractor.
