Galveston rebuilding - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

Small "hands-on" working carpenter and company owner. 30 years high-end residential and commercial up fitting.
Would like to relocate my company to Galveston, TX.
But, not sure exactly HOW MUCH WORK there is there!

So, if someone could give some accurate information that is current, would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jeff

Try reading the online newspapers, especially from Houston.

Hey Jeff,
I worked there about 30 years ago,I may have a couple of names in an old rolodex.I'll post here if I can find them or send you a PM.

One thing about Galveston,it's hot and humid 7 months out of the year,so I hope you like the heat.
