Hello! I’m new to the site, but I joined searching for answers to a lingering question. Are there any specific sites that I can register for to be able to contact prospective clients and send bids in my area? Facebook is flooded with people who consistently undercut me on price but are not as good on professionalism or product quality. Whether it be residential properties or commercial? I’ve recently downsized and have been stuck sub-contracting for a larger business devoting all of my time and making pennies on the dollar. The financial strain of the decision has been weighing on me heavily. My wife has lost faith in our construction business, but I can’t help but to reminisce about how successful we were when we were at full operation with 6-10 guys. I can’t just give up on the dream. Anyone on here able to show us how we can make this embed of hope into a wildfire? We specialize in all niche trades in the construction industry, yes all from form to finish. There’s no lack of drive and determination, just direction.Roll Call! Meet & introduce yourself to other Construction and Home Improvement pros
