Market is going crazy...

I am in Minneapolis so cant say this for other markets.

Every contractor i call is charging me 1.5 to 2 times the price. And these are guys i have worked in the past. They admit that its too high of a price that they are asking but they tell me they are working 80 hours a week and its a question of demand/supply.

What are others seeing in their markets.

You can see how the newly booming housing market will drive job growth. A 50%-100% increase in labor is a temporary market inefficiency. Consider bringing in a contractor from a slow part of the country if you have a lot of work.
