Finding best contractor

[Nancy]

Where would you suggest that we look to find a fair, professional and reputable contractor and/or plumber to take on our proposed bathroom renovations?

Finding a good contractor is kind of like being a private eye looking for a missing person.

Get in touch with the people that are most likely to give you the information you need.

Contact the local building-supply houses, town inspectors and friends of yours who have had some remodeling work done recently to get recommendations you can trust.

A good contractor - someone who pays bills on time to the supply house, has a good reputation with local inspectors, and is know to customers for doing quality work - builds a quality reputation across the board.

Bottom line: Keep asking around your community and you'll find your missing person.
