Man, you aren't kidding there! To even get some of them to return a phone call is rare. I just don't get it. I thought most guys were actually wanting to work. I thought wrong. I have asked they guys that have done work for me down there for recommendations. Not a single one that has been recommended has worked out. Even the ones the County Inspector has told me were pretty decent haven't been reliable. I'm seriously considering doing the drywall and paint myself. I can do it, just aint crazy about it.
