I'm fairly new to the business end of this. I do mostly carpentry work myself. Framing, finishing etc. I would like to work towards larger project where I would like to sub work to masons, and roofers. I am at a loss as to how to find and work with subs. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
One of the big reasons I went into business is from hearing from people that they were burnt by this contractor or he never finished the job. I don't want to ever get that reputation and relying on a sub is scarry. I know there are many many good contractors out there but don't know any myself. How do I find good reliable subs to work with and how are they paid.
Thanks for any help you may offer.

Paul,

Your site looks good. Simple yet effective. The only suggestion I would make is that it would be a nice if you added some "before" pictures for your projects to give people and idea of the difference your work makes.

Terry,
Ya know I generally plan on that but most of the time I forget the camera

. I always say I want before and after and then forget it one or the other times.
I have to get better at that. Thanks for the compliment though.
