Contractors needed in Michigan

Okay we have all done the rehab and flip program and how does it get done? two words money and Contractors. Both of which are not as easy to find as it first appears. Yes you can got to those websites like Angie's list or home advisor. You can always check at the local building supply stores and hope they will give you a name, but they don't do recommendations for anyone. It is maddening. The best place to find Contractors is at the gas station. You heard me right. They are there every morning on their way to the site and eager to give you a card. You get a chance to meet them in person and are on a more personal level with them when you call. Make sure you get at least 3-5 bids on the job and look them over closely. The cheapest guy may not be covering everything and may do low quality work. The highest guy maybe overcharging for your area, but the guy in between is usually the guy giving you the best value for your buck and he takes pride in a job well done. Make sure you have set your parameters with them of what needs to be done and when. A job site can become very haphazard and disorganized if left without someone to oversee the process. How were they supposed to know you are tearing out a wall or adding a room, etc. Have a general contractor or yourself oversee the process. If you are working full time at another job you do not need someone calling you for money or questions during work time. I have found that Contractors work on their own schedule and it is definitely not normal business hours, yet somehow they are never there at 8 am and never there past 5 pm. So when do they get all that work done? Oh well as long as it gets done on schedule, what do I care. So I am looking for reliable contractors in Michigan. Primarily Grand Rapids, Battle Creek and surrounding areas. If you are a reliable contractor of any sort I would like to add you to my list for future projects.
