Each one has its own culture and governed by different rules.For example, if a state requires that contractors actually take pass a test to get their license, you're going to get a different kind of contractor than states where you can simply pay for a license (like mine), even if you don't know how to swing a hammer.

Disclaimer: Before I'm labeled as being racist, I want to recognize that every culture has it's idiosyncrasies.

I cant find one exactly on the main drag for under 100k but as long as its within walking distance it fits the culture i want.
