Well if you have stuck it 21 years without jacking it in you must get some satisfaction out of it.I am not actually in the construction business but I am studying civil engineering so they are not a million miles apart.

to tell you the truth im lost,
i always wanted this lic, but now since i have it dont know where to start
i run my own crew now, 4 guys and me, i like to do full bathrooms from granite to valves, pans, vanities, marble, stone, i do beyond great work, im puking out my ears work, i was going to open a store with 1 of my brothers but he put it on hold cause we didnt have the buildout cost yet, just still feeling out my opitions, i do almost everything but dont really say that cause dont want to be labeled as a handyman, but my marble / stone installs are unmatched

My father in law re did his house last year and used cultured marble for the door trim and base boards in the bathrooms. Really popped nicely. Had some reall intricate work on a backsplash and the showers. Truly one of the most awesome work I have ever seen. All joins were PERFECT.
Member

Retired~ AR-Hall of Famer ~ "Enforcer"
you're on the right track for sure. my dad was a gc and never, ever had to advertise for work. the work speaks for itself and brings more work.
Member

Used to be a General Contractor, but since this year I'm lining myself up as a painting specialist, make just as much, but just far less headaches. Also contracts don't last as long, but they are much easier to find.
