How to Avoid Hiring Bad Contractors - I was talking to someone that I used to work with and they were telling me a story about a contractor that did extremely poor work on one of their friend’s home. I was familiar with some of the contractors in the city that my friend was talking about and I ask him if he knew the contractors name.

Think Twice before Hiring a Contractor with the Biggest Ad in the Yellow Pages - When I first started contracting I was only 25 years old. That's right, I have served my four years as a journeyman carpenter and got my contractors license at an early age.

You're obviously not going to do any medical operations, root canals or nuclear bomb testing, if you don't know what you're doing.

I'm Looking for a Good Contractor, Where Are They - If you're really looking for a good contractor, they're out there. The only problem is how you actually find one of them.
