Hi All! I am looking for some contractors to give me estimates on several projects around our home/office within the next few months. We are NOT ready to start on them yet, but I am working on getting a loan to finish some of them within the next year or so and would like to have estimates so I can figure out how much we need. As a small business owner myself, I realize you get what you pay for and that insurance and other things are considered into the cost. However because we have SO many things that we need done and we would like to maximize our budget, I am specifically looking for someone who will let us do some of the labor ourselves to help cut costs a little bit. (I understand if you don't- but that's why I am laying it all out here, to let you know what we are hoping to find.) My husband is a workhorse and actually has some experience working as a contractor for a short time but we still need some guidance and someone to lead the projects. I am also willing to do equal cost service trades for help but it's not required. I am a higher-end photographer in the area and willing to take on weddings, family sessions, etc in exchange for labor. Some of the work we need done is actually for my studio. Feel free to pm me or comment here with your information or references. Thanks!
