We have a couple big projects that I’m not comfortable doing myself (mainly roof/foundation repair).
I’ve had a couple contractors out that I found on google and have been very displeased. Their work might be good but jesus the salesmen they send out.
They range from overly aggressive to incompetent.
So how do you find good contractors? I’ve noticed the bigger the company, the worse the impression.
Most of the time I just DIY for anything that’s not massive, but when it comes to big projects like Roof/Foundation you listed Friends/Family/Neighbours I trust who have used them in the past.
Once I find a not shit contractor, I latch on to them and maintain that relationship.
