Salem Darrow
Has anyone done a reno with Salem Darrow as g.c.? Pros, cons, opinions?
Comments
No, I have not. But follow these rules:
Due diligence including: speaking to former customers; visiting completed jobs that are similar to yours; checking his license and contacting consumer affairs.
Get everything in writing.
Provide a deposit no higher than 20% of the construction cost.
Set up regular payment intervals based upon the percentage of completion and materials stored to date.
Withhold 10% retainage until substantial completion.
If the contractor's not performing at the beginning cut your losses and fire him.

Is that a person's name? What a cool name. Sounds like the character in a novel.
My apologies, I know that's not helpful in the slightest, unlike edkopel's good advice.
