[quote=svelte]I guess I’m confused about why your husband didn’t know of any reputable contractors, since he’s an architect. I would think they would personally know many.[/quote]
My husband does commercial work, hospitals, hospitality stuff. So he’s dealing with the giant commercial contractors – Like Swinerton and the like. We asked friends etc – but we were in a nether zone of job size at the peak of the market (2006 was when we were putting out to bid.)… It was more than a room addition remodel since it was a free standing companion unit. But it was less than a custom home. Plus we needed a contractor who could do hillside development. Trust me – we interviewed a LOT of contractors who eliminated themselves because it wasn’t their niche – either the wanted bigger job, smaller job, or didn’t feel comfortable with the grading.
