Market research is very time consuming.

I checked the Better Business Bureau for complaints, I checked the NJ State Attorney General consumer division to ensure he was licensed, I checked every reference he gave by visiting sites and speaking with the homeowners.

Also I don't want to have to keep up with several spreadsheets and files, it's become way too time consuming. 

Glad to hear you're staying above the fray and have a more wholesome perspective than some you've come across.
