How to Get a Contractor Like This

Fitzpatrick-Our intrepid reader, Jen, is busily into month two of the remodel of her SoCal bungalow and is keeping us on track here at Remodeling Repartee.

Jen wrote:

"Our GC is in constant communication with us which is keeping us on schedule with decision-making and ordering materials and has been at our house a number of times I’ve just randomly decided to stop by. I actually dropped by last week and he was watering our yards because our sprinklers had been unexpectedly shut off."

Knock me over with a tape measure. Peg is about the only other contractor I know who would do such things. How did Jen find this guy, how did she know to hire him, and how can you (and me, too) imitate her tactics?

We’ve put a message out to her and hope to hear back soon as to whether being a Virgo had a hand in it, or something else….
