Why is it so hard to find a good contractor??
In your opinion, what is the reason(s) why finding a good contractor is so difficult? What could a contractor do to retain your business? Why do you recommend a contractor to a friend or associate?
It's clear to me from reading the forum and listening to the podcasts on BP that finding good, reliable, and cost effective contractors is a huge problem in our industry.
