I can't help you out on that side of the lake but congratulations on your purchase. It is good to hear that someone is buying real estate.

I live in Wolfeboro, but have used an electrician from Gilford named Brett Houle. His business is called Brett's Electric and I was very happy with the quality of work, price and promptness. His number is 603-520-7167

Looking for subcontractors
I live in Wolfeboro and have had three jobs done in the past 10 years - one relatively small, but the other two were significantly large ($$). On all three jobs I had the carpenter/or developer act as the general contractor for purposes of making the individual parts of the job flow together smoothly and timely.
When all is said and done with your job, you will be essentially through with the subcontractors, and they know it. But, the carpenter/general contractor will be in business into the future and will want to have the subcontractors available to him for future work, and, because of this, they (the subs) will be more attentive to his needs during your construction than they would be to your needs during construction. Also, carpenters/general contractors usually have a network of subs they prefer to use because they know the sub's work quality and reliability, and how certain subs work with other subs. My advice - go slow, talk with your builder, and do a lot of listening. My best to you. |

You lost me on the modular homes deal???? My choice of contractors has been lousy becasue I like to do work the old fashioned way (handshake) but others just like to say that they like to do work the old fashioned way. It is to the point now that if one of my customers or contractors says that they do work the old fashioned way I go out to my truck and get the huge contract.

Not sure if it is too late, but I am an electrician (Mass and NH) and, like everyone else, looking for a reason to leave Boston and stay on my boat for a few more days. If you need an estimate, I will be heading up Saturday morning and will be there through Sunday. Jon Levis, 978-815-6122 or Fay's Boat Yard, under the covers!
