@Bevla Reeves I try to prescreen Contractors myself but now and then I have small misunderstandings.

I can't afford the sometimes overpriced Contractors on Angie's List. I think the List gives them a license to charge Homeowners, retail-plus rates. Our REIA has had over a hundred join in the last year. At the meetings and with our email newsletters it's a good opportunity to preScreen them and see who you're comfortable with.

Some of the Rules I've heard: If they're wearing brand new penny loafers and a sweater vest? NO! If they arrive in a brand new unscratched pickup truck? NO!

Finally, you can only pick two of these three options: Price, Speed & Quality.
