Great forum start Noam. First and foremost I would recommend hiring a LICENSED, BONDED and INSURED contractor, with emphasis on Licensed! This will ensure, at least at a minimal level, that the contractor you are using has at least some knowledge and experience in the bldg trades and const. realm
I see there are some national asset managers that contract out to more regional offices, who then hire the contractors. Each takes a cut, leaving less and less for the contractors. Can you tell me how someone goes about getting higher up in the food chain?
