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.

      Having used this site before, it’s worse than useless in my experience. I got a bunch of phone numbers of businesses that ghosted me or lost me in their terribly designed phone systems, and then got cold called by other contractors that wanted to charge insane prices, didn’t understand the project, or tried to change the scope of the project completely to upsell me.

      Absolutely do NOT recommend. Also avoid Home advisor or whatever it is, the WORST contractors are from there.
