Here is the bid I got from my General contractor while I was getting estimates from different contractors. I went with this guy because he just seem passionate about the project. He was also referred by realtor, and I had a chance to actually see some of the work he has done in the past. The process of finding a contractor is very hard and scary, some will offer you the world and love to make comments like "Don't worry", "It will be great", and "I can do it all". YEAH RIGHT!!!! After watching more than a hundred episodes of Mike Holmes show, I was extremely nervous about dealing with general contractors. Please don't promise me the world, just do what I ask and be honest. It's very important that you and the contractor go over the bid several times. You definitely don't want any assumptions to cause conflict.
BID WHICH WILL BE CONVERTED TO A CHECKLIST. I rated the cost based on percentage of budget. Most of my budget will be going torward carpentry, please pray for me that there will not be any bumps on the road.
