I'm looking to get my own home tightened up. I'd like to know who you use and recommend.It's a rowhome. I'm looking for dense pack blown insulation for the front and rear walls, 2" closed cell foam for my basement w/ ...

Hello BP, I'm working on a mostly cosmetic renovation project here in New Orleans  I was wondering if there are any experience contractors or anyone here that could recommend contractors that they've used successfully in the past.

It's so critical to be as far down the process and even have the property under contract or even purchased by the time 45 days is over. 

Any contractor that you could recommend?

This may have been addressed somewhere else, but i haven't been able to find anything that pertains specifically to contractors.

I picture that I am going to find something I like, do my own research as to an ARV, get a contractor to go look at it with me and wait for them to give me an estimate. 

I would walk 2 blocks around the property and speak to neighbors.example:I was viewing a house in germantown with my contractor about 2 weeks ago.The house looked nice and the neighborhood looked decent.

Is this a contractor or your rehab number?

If anyone knows good contractor that give advice and help in Portland,Oregon Thank you.
