For the most part, I have been happy with my contractors - I have used a combination of neighbor referrals / referrals from users here on TOTV / referrals from other contractors I already trust / review ratings from TOTV (home improvements tab) and Yelp reviews/ratings. I will usually interview three contractors for each job, and though I want to be thrifty with what I spend, I haven’t always just automatically used the cheapest contractor. For work like landscaping, cement staining, flooring, I want to see physical examples of the contractor’s work. I also need to be impressed with not jut their quality and cost, but their service as well (starting off by not returning phone messages or showing up late for an appointment, will usually want me to shy away from that contractor).
I have a Topaz model, corner lot.
