Matt, getting THREE GCs in San Diego to tour a midrange house with you, give you bids and free advice, yeah good luck with that!
I am semi-seriously thinking of getting into this biz based on the fact it is so hard to even get one on the phone to set an appointment!
Bewildering, not sure what you mean by termite clearance, I purchased two san diego homes with serious termite issues no problem with conventional very competitive rates.
