Finding a good contractor

[Tzvi Balsam]

I am having such A hard time to find a reliable contractor someone I feel I can trust in Bayonne NJ.

I just bought a 2 Unit building that I am trying to add a 3rd Unit in the basement it is raw,  The city requires 7 feet so the job will include digging down 6 Inches and I will have to split up the Utility's heat and electric... 

I am trying craigslist I am trying homeadvisor and I feel so lost.

What are the most important things I should look for in a contractor, and what are the most important questions I should ask them before hiring.

Someone please help me with this. 

Thanks in Advance.

Tzvi Balsam Your project scares most residential handyman companies that you will find on those sites. Find a professional company that can dig basements, your project is harder than you think.
