Fellow BP Community:

I am in need a contractor for a moderate rehab in Chicago near Midway Airport. It's a single family home. I am trying to expand our vendor list and would like to meet a couple good crews that can handle this. I have 6 crews now and it dawned on me that I have a community here I can reach out to!!
