One caveat, sometimes a contractor is unfairly blamed. I know of one instance where a gutter got damaged by a falling branch. Because a tree had been trimmed a few days before, it HAD to be the landscaper’s fault. No one saw the branch fall. No one saw the landscaper trimming that particular tree, yet a complaint was filed and is now a black mark against that landscaper because he refused to pay for repairing a gutter he did not damage. So, do factor in that if only one or two complaints for a company that has been around for several years, it might not be a bad company but an unreasonable complainant or unfair complaint.
Nice advice redwitch as usual. They are people who have been accused falsely for what ever reason so try multiple sources of information if available like the Better Business Bureau, customer rating sites, etc.
