I've talked to several contractors and there is a common thread in many of their situations.....labor. Finding capable help is difficult as the growth and the demand is out stripping the labor availability. Remember when TV announced the expansion and all the major contractors held a job fair to find labor, even to the point of providing training courses and recruitment incentives? While successful for new construction they are still lacking in service and maintenance areas. Trickle down to the small guys (which man of us use because they are usually cheaper than the big guys) and you will find ONE of the reasons we have what we have. Wildwood has approved new housing projects for lower income personnel which might help attract labor to the area. If you live here full time, you might want to wait until the summer to do your projects, if you live here part time, you are part of the crunch.
