[QUOTE=kmspla1952;2342793]Just looking for an explanation on "the process".

We looked at a house here in The Villages that needed extensive cosmetic work (roof, flooring, landscaping). At our ages we don't want to take on the responsibility of all that work. One of our friends said "Just hire a sub-contractor" and have it all done.

Can you tell me please how a sub-contractor works? How would they select the best roofing company or the best priced landscaper? How are they paid? Do they charge a flat fee based on how much work is necessary or do they receive compensation of each job?

First, I have no idea about his qualifications other than watching his YouTube videos.
You could look up Ira Miller and ask about these projects. He originally was a General Contractor and now does home inspections and also is a real estate agent and possibly a broker. He seems to have a decent amount of knowledge and also has connections to specific tradesmen. Good luck!
