    Why Can't I Find a General Contractor?

    The hail storm last week left our house in pretty bad shape...new roof, siding, window, trim, etc...

    So I've was trying to find some general contractors to bid for the work. For some reason, I can't really find any general contractors in the Parker area. What gives? A lot are commercial, or some are just roofing contractors...I need someone that can get me a bid for all the work!

    I've searched yellowpages.com, dex, and just general good searches in Parker...nothing...

    Do I need to expand my search into Denver? I'd like to keep the business local, but I also need to get multiple bids and get the house fixed! The few that I've called and left voicemails with haven't returned my calls.

    Is it normal to not get call backs from contractors and why is it so hard to find them in the 1st place? I can understand that it is frustrating to provide a bid, and lose it to someone else, but isn't that just the nature of the business?

    I think there's some people in-the-know on here. If they don't chime in, I can check my rolodex...

    I've got a friend who owns a roofing company, and they do top notch work. Do you live in Douglas county?

    Many roofing contractors also do siding and trim. That is who did that work to the house we sold in Austin, it was much easier finding one that way who did all of it rather than go with a general who is going to farm everything out and take their cut off the top. That was basically the recommendation of a commercial contractor friend down there, since I do mostly commercial architecture I didn't know many residential contractors.
