Reply to comment by Danitay in Property owners of NJ, what has your experience been like finding and working with contractors recently? Is the nationwide labor shortage noticeable labor in your area? by [deleted]
Thank you. Any tips you can give on finding a good contractor?

Referrals from people you know or neighbors is a good place to start. Once you have a recommendation then you want to make sure the contractor is a good communicator and you have a contract after receiving a proposal. It is tough because some great contractors have terrible internet presence…while some 5 star google review contractors sub their work out to subpar contractors and they reward people to leave top reviews.
I suggest making a list of projects and tackle them in phases. Huge renovations tend to have little details get lost. Working one bathroom at a time (like we did) ensured we had things like wood blocking in the walls exactly where we wanted towel bars and tp holders to go (way sturdier than a drywall anchor).

Thanks for sharing! Your house looks exactly what I want. May have to find the comment after buying a house down the road and ask who your person is…

Sure! I’m pretty sure they serve central NJ too. I’ve got a couple different reddit posts on r/homeimprovement that I can share of the kitchen and laundy room too
