I Need to Renovate My Home Before Selling, But Where are the Workers?

Does this sound familiar?

You have a project or repair that needs to be done at your home and you need to renovate. You call 3 contractors to get estimates. Two of them never call you back and the third says he can do the work in 4-6 months…if you’re lucky! What is happening in our skilled construction labor market?

The Construction Industry Labor Shortage

An April 6th article by NPR stated: “The construction industry faces a dire labor shortage. The number of construction job openings jumped by 129,000 in February, even as hiring decreased by 18,000 according to a report from the Labor Department released.” The result: contractors are charging more than ever and are backed up farther than ever. Renovating or repairing a home has become increasingly difficult and expensive!
