Garage Build

how in the world do you source a residential guy that takes their job seriously, anyway?  just luck/word of mouth and hope the good ones aren't booked up for the next 2 years?

Basically. I got pretty lucky with my kitchen GC, but, they werent the cheapest by far.

Word of mouth referrals are the only way to go when it comes to residential construction. And know the laws of your state that cover homeowners.

For example, in MD a contractor can only accept 1/3 of the total cost as a deposit. Every week you see a story on the news about a homeowner who gave a contractor 100% of the money upfront only for the contractor to not complete the work and disappear.

Obviously that is a shitty way to do business but it’s also in the homeowner to not pay before the work is processed.
