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.
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?
