Hey BiggerPockets community,

I’m wrapping up a flip project in Louisville, Kentucky and am in need of a reputable, high-end finishing contractor to help bring it across the finish line. I’m looking for someone with great attention to detail, reliable communication, and experience working on higher-end renovations.

If you’ve had a great experience with a contractor in Louisville who can handle fine finish work, trim, paint, flooring, etc., I’d greatly appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all,

I’m looking for a reputable, detail-oriented high-end finishing contractor to help get a renovation project across the finish line in Louisville, Kentucky.

The project is already well underway, but we need someone with experience in luxury-level finishes and a strong track record for delivering high-quality work on schedule. This could include tasks like trim, cabinetry, painting, tile, fixtures, and other final detail work.

If you’re based in Louisville (or willing to travel), have excellent references, and pride yourself on craftsmanship, I’d love to connect. Please DM me or drop your recommendations below.

Thanks in advance for any leads!

Also reviving this thread, in a very similar situation as @Stephen G.  Were you able to successfully permit the 3rd unit??  Would love some advice

@Nathan Gesner Can we legally deny and it have any teeth

@Nathan Gesner We want to deny the request, but trying to figure out how enforceable that is.  If we draft a an addendum that says the person can stay but must leave in 6 months, is that enforceable?

@Theresa Harris She claims its a friend who needs a place for a few months as she moves to the area.  We have issues our tenant airbnb our place behind our back in the past, also going out of town for months on end and renting her place out while she travels, so this feels like one of those situations.  We dont want another tenant in there.

@Kevin Sobilo Thanks for your response.  We have a few reasons to deny the request.  We have had issues with this tenant in the past.  Secondly, because of CA laws, we are afraid the friend is just going to move in and not leave and we have no recourse.  There isn't any benefit to us to go through the extra work of background check, get lawyer to approve language etc.  If anything it gives us a bigger problem down the road.  We explored the idea of allowing it but for only 6months, but we think once the person is there for that long we can't enforce signed language about an exit date.

Dear BP

I have a tenant is the only tenant tenant on her lease asking if a friend of hers can move in to the unit temporarily for more than 30 days.  The lease says that she must gain owners permission if the guest is to stay for longer than 30 days.  For a few reasons, we want to deny this request, but wanted to know how binding our denial would be.  What if the tenant ignores our denial and moves the friend in anyway?  Basically, Id like to know how much teeth does our lease have in light of larger oakland CA tenant law.

Any help would be much appreciated

thanks

Im in the same boat @Fareed Fityan.  The BP prop manager finder tool on BP didnt give me what i was looking for.  Have you found a good local oakland prop manager yet?  Would be curious.  Im rather work with a small PMC or even an individual than a larger company. thanks!

Im in same situation!  very interested to see how your experience went.  Will message diretly.

thanks!
