A good GC should have a preferred network of sub contractors(Painters, flooring guys, plumbers, electricians, etc), so this would eliminate the search for specialty subcontractors.Finding a good lender and building a good relationship is very important as well.

If there is asbestos, then it may be cheaper to have a painter spray the ceilings with egg shell, let it cure and harden for a month and then come back to skim over the hardened popcorn.

Get my cleaner in there and painter if necessary as well.

To generate leads, I did door to door marketing for 6 months offering free estimates for exterior painting (I then set up the estimates, bid out the job, closed the sale, and hired painters off of Craigslist to do the painting).

I could use a demo crew, handyman, painter, flooring, cabinet installer and a door and trim installer.

Hello BP,I just got a property under contract and I am going to be needing some good contractors that work in the Snohomish County, Marysville area.I could use a demo crew, handyman, painter, flooring, cabinet installer and a door and trim installer.

I grew up with Heinlein's quote, "always ask the experts, they will tell you what cannot be done and why- then go do it"  Anyway, we are doing a rehab and I hired a guy on the spot who I met serendipitously- I was going to do a painting job that night, stopped off at the lawyers, and there was a painter there.Anyway, wound up hiring him to redo the bathroom.  

@Logan HicksYes I believe that is correct@Shawn Thom I apologize It was in the title sort of "Painter Wants to charge by the hour?"

I'm a writer and artist (painter of landscapes as well as walls.) 

Do you hire a general contractor and let them subcontract work out or do you hire each team individually (ie. painters, electricians, plumbers, etc)?
