St Louis MO - Where are the reliable Contractor's???
I'm in desperate need of reliable and skilled contractor's in the St. Louis MO area.
So here's the deal BP friend's: I'm a newbie that has decided to get micro focused on a specific area to learn the in's and out's of that particular market. The market I chose was STL and the surrounding area's. I'm getting a healthy number of lead's and I'm even working with a local agent who's doing an amazing job at taking care of the ground work. I've reached out to him about my dilemma in trying to find reliable contractors and he's done his best to help me in this regard as well.
The problem: After calling and emailing numerous contractor's to bid on certain project's the response I'm getting is roughly 1 out of 10. Is there too much work and not enough contractor's to go around? I've even had one contractor who has an impeccable online review rating come to one of my potential properties and give a verbal bid roughly $25k ballpark. However when it was time to submit a written scope of work he completely disappeared. I just can't deal with unreliable people. HELP!
