Hi everyone, 

Any recommendations on skilled trades that you have utilized in the past in the Houston area? (specifically looking for inner 610 loop, Clear Lake/Friendswood/(SE 45 Corridor) and Galveston areas).

- Plumber
- Electrician
- Termite Inspector
- Surveyor
- Insurance (for investment properties)

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Honestly thats a rough ask- Trades are hard to find and easy to upset. i.e. when I refer someone to one of my trades I am usually more concerned that the trade will be taken care of and done right than the client using them.

I have found that most management companies, investors, flippers, etc, have a hard time keeping trades for more than a few gigs for a bunch of reasons. Not the least of which is everyone (trades and whoever hires them) is constantly worried about the other taking advantage.

I would call some supply shops in the area for the plumbers/electrician referees; even ACE hardware has a pegboard w/ business cards on it and a pro desk which should know who is who in the area.
