About Me

General contractors can handle every aspect of a project. They can oversee the whole project, but they are also knowledgeable on the small details. Hello, my name is Fran, and after working closely with contractors through the years, I have decided to start a blog. I plan to write about the basics first: how to find a contractor, which one to hire, what to look for in a contract and more. Then, I hope to go into specifics, writing tips about each little project and helping you refine your vision. If you are thinking about building a home, doing some renovation work or related projects, I hope you find what you need in this blog. Enjoy.
