GC Recommendations in Chicago Lawn

Good morning, everyone. I've recently acquired a SFH in Chicago Lawn (71st Place & St. Louis). The surrounding area is quiet and mostly SFH's. It's a 4BR/2BA in need of a gut rehab. I've had one bad experience in the past and trying to remember to use the BP community more regularly to avoid making the same mistake(s). Thank you in advance!

    Hey @Joe Mende; there are may general contractors in Chicago; and it's so easy to get licensed here, no exam is needed. All you need is proof of insurance and an LLC name, so be careful with who you hire. Aside from all of that, always take a look at their current projects, photos do NO good.

    @Jonathan Klemm is a good guy to start off with if you need someone reliable and that will do the job right!
