Contractors
Posted: Sun Sep 15, 2013 4:25 pm
Hello,
This is all new to me. My daughter and her family bought a home in a very rural area ( Melrose, FL) and I live in the tiny single wide trailer the first owners' lived in while the house was being built. The house was built around the trailer. I estimate the trailer to be at least 20 years old. It needs a complete overhaul. Everything that was used, from the sinks to the carpet, were of the cheapest and poorest quality. Also I have a budget and don't want to go overboard.
My question is this: Can a contractor who works on "stick" houses also work on mobile homes? This area has lots of mobile homes so I'm assuming either there are special mobile home contractors or the stick home contractors do work on mobile homes.
I am a 75 year old senior citizen and would rather contract out the work I need done than ask my family who are busy people and just opened a new retail business. Where do I start. I have no problem with decorating ideas; but lots of storage problems.
I would appreciate any help this forum can give me. Thank you.
