Someone recommended to me the other day to go to Lowe’s or HomeDepot to network with contractors.

What are some of your favorite strategies for meeting these professionals? What has worked best for you?

Bonus points in any one has any insight on Clarksville, TN contractors/connections! 🙂🙂

Brooke, dont go to the big box store. Yes, they are there, but it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You dont have time to go aisle to aisle asking everyone. Instead, go to the local lumber yard. The one that has the 2x4's under a tin roof outside. Here it is McCoys lumber and others. Go to the contractor desk and just ask. If I were building in your area I would hit Clarksville lumber or a place like that. I could find a wealth of contractors at these places.
