I have had so much success on this site and want to thank all of you for the advice that you have given to me. Now I am asking for help for a friend. She and her husband recently purchased a home that needs a complete overhaul. They are in need of a really good and inexpensive contractor, preferably in the Dallas area. They moved here from Maryland so they do not have many contacts so I told them that I would post a request and see what information I could come up with. Any names and contact information that you could give to me for them would be greatly appreciated. They need to gut the entire house and remodel.

What can I do next?

I would recommend my husband. This is how he started in this a few years ago- we bought property to fix and sell or rent. He has always been good with remodeling and fixing things. We networked with several couples that were doing the same thing, they liked what he did so much that they contracted him to do the work on the homes they bought. He has been in business ever since. He fixes/remodels every home as if it was his. His name is Jack Broaddus-###-###-#### is his mobile. B & W Enterprises is the name of the company.
I would at least get an estimate from him
Good luck

I know everyone refers their contractor so... here is mine.
Len Vinsko ###-###-####
He has done several jobs for me, my mom, and some of her neighbors. He has always done a great job and has always been the best bid for us. He is helping us ready our house for sale and he even came to one of the houses we were looking to buy and helped us know what it would cost to get it updated enough to live in versus what it would cost to do all of the things we want (which was lots!) He is honest and if you need things done in phases for money reasons he will help you decide which to do first and what can wait.

Good luck to your friends!

Hi,
We used David Youngblood for our hardwood floor and were very pleased with his work. He doesn't have a showroom though so your friends,in case they need hardwood floor done, have to go and look at other showrooms. Youngblood would then provide some samples at your request. Other than this inconvenience, his price and quality were much better than Coker floor and Home Depot at the time we used him.

I've been out of town, so just now catching up on Mamasource email. In case your friend is still looking, I recommend All in One construction. Joe & Angela Wrinkle - www.allinoneconstruction.com

They did our kitchen, three bathrooms and painting in the entry hall. They also have done a ton of work for my friend's mom's home, which I see is featured on their website. She's had them back at least a half dozen times in the last couple of years to do a bunch of things. I figured if she continues to have them back, they must be good/honest/reasonable and they were.

I suggest you or your friend check out Angie's List to find someone in your area. The contractors (and all categories of service providers) are rated by real people who have used their services not only on price but quality, timeliness, professionalism and a number of other factors. It is definitely a great resource for finding help!

I don't know where your friend's house is, and that will make a difference. However, I use Rudy Riddle for most all my large projects. I have a lot of rental property and have used him for more than ten years. I bought a house last year that had been damaged severely by tenants - all the plumbing, a/c, and appliances had been taken out. He pretty much rebuilt the entire home. Feel free to give him a call and get an estimate. His name is Rudy Riddle at ###-###-####. good luck.
