Why is it so hard to find good help

And i’ve been searching for a decent contractor to fix some things around my house for weeks now, and the experience has been a total nightmare. No shows, vague estimates, and when they do show up, they act like they’re too busy to take on the work — it’s frustrating that getting simple home repairs done has become such a hassle.

I totally get where you’re coming from… I once hired a contractor who showed up with a coffee in one hand and a vague attitude in the other — like he was just there to enjoy the view. It might be worth checking out local listings or community boards, sometimes you find hidden gems that way.

I feel your pain. I waited weeks for a plumber who just ghosted me after vague estimates. Try asking for references upfront; it helps.

And finding reliable help can feel like searching for a unicorn! A friend recently suggested I ask for a small project fee up front to weed out the flaky ones. Have you thought about that?
