It seems to really be picking up down here in Charleston. It's been busy for a few months, but lately it's getting nuts. So much so I feel like I'm drinking water from a firehouse... I'm not complaining, mind you, but I'm just hoping everyone else out there is seeing things pick up as well.

I'm solid into the summer for certain.  A lot of projects I've been bidding all want April. Must be the tax returns!

Bob, same here.  So many quotes going out the door lately.  Best part is I don't feel the pressure to get every one sold. 

Booked solid to summer as well.

Good to hear it's going well up there guys!

We had a very good year last year, much like 2008 and the few prior years. Work trailed off near Christmas which is usual and takes a few weeks in Jan to get going again. But so far I am still slow, I think I have been out in the field working maybe 5 days since the first of the year. [unsure] We (my father and I) have put out 40+ bids in that time and have gotten a number of verbal yes answers but just about all of them want a "spring" start, which I really believe is a reflection of the weather here in the northeast! I do have a six week kitchen project booked to start April 15th and am really pressuring some of my clients to move before then.

All that being said I haven't had any down time yet this year. I've been busy rebranding our 40 year old business for the next 40 years!
 
I was lucky enough to never slow down much, right now I'm solid for at least 10 months!!  very grateful that my customers will wait for good work
