I am looking for a good, reliable, cost effective handyman to build out a small closet in one of my rental units.  Should be able to demo, frame, drywall and paint.

Your input would be much appreciated!!

Thank you

This always seems to be a problem for investors. You can always call a GC, but that adds up quick. I've always did what I can myself (I worked as a handyman). I would find a handy guy to help out from time to time and think great I can just send him over to swap a faucet. Those guys don't seem to last since I wouldn't have enough work. I was thinking of getting a group of investors together in North Jersey to keep a guy busy enough to work steady. I wouldn't mind coordinating it. Any thoughts?

    I have a solid contractor that I use for all my units in Bergen County. Not the cheapest, but the work will be right. If any interest, DM and can connect you.

    @Brian Liscio - would enjoy getting together to talk.  LMK what I can do to help get a group going.

    Yes, finding a good handyman is tough.  I can do a lot, but sometimes time is the issue, so having a few names and numbers are good.

    @Matt Borin, what issues are you having?  

    Did you see @Brian Liscio's post about forming a REI Group? Would you like in? Looks like at least @Orkeem Davis and I are interested.   How about you, @Edward C. and @Cliff Boan?

    My handyman is just finishing a big job for me. Gut renovation of a bathroom, handicap curb-less shower, new tile, new kitchen, new flooring, paint interior, etc.  It was a big job so he brought in extra help when needed.

    Fair pricing and quality work. He lives in Hudson County.  PM me if anyone still needs a referral.

    I'm looking to Invest right here in Bergen County and although I don't have any projects as of yet, I've read enough horror stories about unreliable GC's, and knowing a couple of reliable and dependable handy men can be a great asset. I hope you guys don't mind if I come back to this post and reach out for contact info when the time comes.

    @Radhames Tatis @Ruel Baliong @Matt Borin @Edward C. @Steven S. just FYI, I started one in Bergen County back in September we've met twice so far and the next meeting is on November 28th. I'm actually thinking of changing the meetings to twice a month if things pick up as I limit meetings to 20 people to keep it cozy.

    @Jason Guinard came to the last one and could hopefully attest that it was good. 

    Hope you all join the group !!

    I can attest.  The set up of one by one around the table individual into>Q&A>open discussion is really nice.  I left feeling like I got to know everyone there, were their interest and experience lied and that I made contacts and friends.
