Underrated like the Spurs but always impress!

I did look at the site and the Baltimore deals did not impress me.

Do they give you the impression of a snake?

But it wasn't clear to me if that was true for demo and tile (which I had to pull permits for).I got the impression they just wanted my money.

Here is a basic plan for hiring a GC:(1) Ceate a comprehensive Scope of Work for your project with most important counts and measurements(2) Get several GC referrals, ask them to see their work on other properties (ideally similar to what you're contemplating)(3) If you like what you see, invite them to bid and hand them a printed copy of your Scope(4) Walk them through your property and explain your vision for the project, bring your laptop to show pics of other remodeled properties you like(5) Ask for detailed bids in writing with estimated start and completion dates(6) Follow your gut in picking a couple of companies that looks trustworthy and capable (discard bids from those that don't impress you regardless of their costs)(7) Review bids, see how prices from different GCs compare for the same items(8) Negotiate bids with all remaining candidates to get to the costs level your project can afford(9) Discuss how many people they'll have on site during most of work days they'll be working there.

Vince, I bought a very impressive 2/1 for 46K and 9K down.  

The realtor was impressed with the work we did in the time we did it, and we ended up in a bidding war with 7 offers the first weekend the house went on the market.

He was impressively engaging because he speaks our language!

May be a good group but didn't give me a good first impression.  

Professionals with decades of experience and very impressive track records do all the heavy lifting for you.
