Those who do opt to hire someone should do their research. While the majority of contractors are reputable, some are known for overcharging clients and/or being unreliable. The best way to find a good contractor is to get a recommendation from a friend or family member. If consumers cannot get a verbal recommendation, they can find a contractor and read online reviews about the service.
