I posted a message a few days ago about getting some work done on our
house: paint the interior, replace all carpeting, refinish hardwook
floor in the kitchen, and tile the bathrooms. Our house is ~2,200sf,
3BR 2.5BA.

Questions:
1. Does anyone have any experience with general contractors that can
help get the individual contractors lined up to perform this work, and
coordinate the individual projects, etc. This seems like an inherently
risky thing to do (entrusting an individual to look after other
contractors and our best interests), but if there's a way to make this
work it would make things a lot easier.


We have a local store that sells all the paint, carpet, tile that you are
going to use. One phone call and Bob would be able to get it all done with
ease. He has contractors that do the installation for him. Perhaps you
have a local business that can handle it too.


2. General contractor aside, how early should I line up bids and secure
the individual contractors if I want to have this work performed in
August?

Start now to be sure materials are in and time set aside.
