I know a lot of guys say hire a local guy....but lots of times they're no bargain either. They don't return your calls, they show up late, if at all, they don't finish when they say they're going to, and they are usually more expensive. Don't get me wrong there are some good local contractors out there but if they are good you usually can't get them for at least a year....thats my experience any way


I think if you don't have a good friend that does it, its a crap shoot.

I have used Home Depot for 2 things...They did my carpets and they were Excellent, They did my Windows and they were a pain in the ass. I think it all depends on who they contract out to do the work for them.
