New Iowa Contractor Saying Hello!

KELLEY GENERAL

Hi, I'm Toby kelley with Kelley General construction services from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We are a new company that started in January of last year, and due to the flooding disaster that struck our community things have been busy. I have worked in the construction and building industry for about 20 years now, in both the commercial and residential markets. I recieved most of my training through the JATC program through the carpenters union and completed a four year apprenticeship with that organization. I am still on a learning curve with the bidding and management aspects of the business, but I look forward to getting new ideas and pointers from the other talented tradesmen and women on this site. I am very excited to hear any ideas that can help me overcome the learning curve and make this new endevor a success.

Hey Kelly, welcome aboard

How you like'n all this flood BS On one hand i'm glad we all got work to do in light of current media fed recessions, but last year was tough and almost put me under dealing with the banks and insurance companies. No money down, no progress payments, 100% payment made after OP was issued and subs signed off on liens. We got into 12 houses at once just to keep teh guys busy while waiting on other trades to get rough in's done and such....it was tooough.

Hopefully this year taking what i learned from last year i'll be able to make it work a little better, but that's as close to being forced out of business as i EVER want to get again, the current spring load is all folks with money in theri pockets so it's business as usual so to speak....i hope LOL!!!

Good luck this year down there...what a f..king mess we have to deal
