Hi guys,

Been perusing this forum for a few weeks. Gaining ideas and inspiration. I am on a mission to build my first garage. I need some help sourcing a foundation/concrete contractor. The folks I have contacted for pricing seem uninterested..

Welcome. Where in Richmond? Not a great blue collar/contractor town :-(

Hello from southern Chesterfield. Best of luck on finding subs to do the parts and pieces. I tried going that way but ended up hiring a contractor to do the whole job. Seemed all the subs were busy doing work for major contractors, but that was years ago. With the residential building market the way it is you'd think it would be easy to get a subcontractor.

Welcome from Chester VA. I've always had trouble finding subcontractors too. In my latest attempt I talked with 5 people for estimates about a back porch and only 2 ever got back with me.
