General Contract Recommendations for Philadelphia area

Hi BP,

Actively looking for a multifamily deal in the Philadelphia metro area.  Some of the deals we are looking at would require us to pursue a renovation loan, since conventional standards are not met due to things such as boarded up windows, wholes in drywall, etc...  From our understanding, acquiring a quick reliable estimate is key to moving renovation loans along smoothly from the jump, as they take longer.

With all that said, we are in the market for a general contractor.  Someone who can join us on walk throughs and provide quality estimates in a timely manner if we believe a renovation loan is needed to finance the purchase.  I am actively building a list of referrals so I can begin looking for a good fit.  I have already tapped friends, family, and coworkers.... but would love to hear from some fellow BP members.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.  Also feel free to ask any questions regarding our situation.

Thanks in Advance,

Josh
