Hiring contractors can be an adventure in living, as their skills sets, customer service, and quality of workmanship can vary widely. Having been in the real estate industry for over a decade, I have had the chance to develop relationships with reliable, hard-working, quality contractors, whom I refer out to my clients on a regular basis. Some of these contractors I even interview on my Edina Real Estate Video Blog. So, without further ado, here is my “Angie’s List” of tried-and-tested contractor referrals which I hope you find useful for your home project:
