I need contractors who know the drill....painters, fence contractors, flooring. 

Calling a reputable painter myself for instance has produced quotes literally half what they are charging me...  

Cara and Marcus Painter with MC properties have a great organization...  

I found my painter, landscaper and a laborer this way.  

For indoor spraying, particularly, consider the extra masking work needed to protect everything that you aren't painting.Many years ago, I had a Wagner "Power Painter" with a backpack for carrying paint on a ladder.

What are you looking for, general contractor, or subs, electrician, plumber, HVAC, painter?

- Probably not, as my time is better spent elsewhere, AND the painter will undoubtedly do a MUCH better job.Should my painter prepare and file Form 1120-H tax returns?

But some of the smaller local flooring places can have great labor rates, you just have to find them. paint entire interior (~1,800 sq. ft) - find the painter directly for the best dealBasement (new carpet, ceiling tiles) - don't need a GC for this either. 

When we close on a new rental property, we plan the first weekend after closing, have materials ready to go, and hire workers, like we have a guy who works for a painter during the week that will come in and plaster/paint the more difficult rooms while I paint the easy ones, my husband is great with electrical, we both do the little stuff like caulk, clean up the exterior, while a handyman is there changing out a toilet or other items we just don't want to do, and Lowes is delivering any appliances. 

One painter I know says in rentals to use the same paint to keep costs down.
