Nib's got it right. If the walls aren't plumb and square, the floor isn't level, someone is gonna have some 'splaining to do..... cause the finish/tile guy is going to have to hide the rough work screw up.
Let's look at it from the other side. If I wasn't putting out quality work, would I be entertaining an offer to be sub-contracted out at HD's rate? When an independent is hired, his name is on it. And when you work in a local area, you are as good as your last job.
Duke, when you see a truck on a job in your area, stop and ask for the general contractor or owner. Don't overlook the foreman/supervisor on the job either. I have one guy I depend upon as he has 40 years building experience and has seen it all. Without him I'd be doing less than half of what I'm able to do now.
