That's a good idea. The economy is tough, contractors want work but they are looking for big projects; ones that keep the cash flow flowing.

The smaller your project the harder it is to find someone good.

Your realtor has contacts for smaller jobs whether to fix for quick sale, stage or fix after a sale. S/he wants to keep them busy so they stick around and work for him or her.
