Do you use homeadvisor.com to find contractors?
BP!
Do you have any experience with hiring contractors locally or out of town with homeadvisor.com? Would you recommend it or do you prefer another site (eg angies lists)
thanks!

My experience has been that it is extremely hard to find great contractors on the internet. I have several great contractors I have worked with in the Chicago suburbs where I live. They have all come from referrals. The best one doesn't even own a smart phone or a computer. In my out of state property, my partner and I have gone through quite a few tech savvy, but lousy contractors.
Have you tried asking some other local folks for referrals?
