For me, I find the work ethic of the service providers to be different. So many of the service businesses we call are either late or don't show up at all. It's almost a surprise when somebody arrives on time.

Wow. Our experience has been exactly the opposite. The difference between here and Miami is amazing. Even the cable guy showed up on schedule.
With the exception of our first landscaper (who seemed ok initially) we've been pleased with everyone we've dealt with; the bank, house painter, TV repair, auto repair, dentist, I even got a decent haircut!! When our one-year house warrently was almost up we called in with 4 (very) minor items. We got a call back that day and scheduled repairs for the next morning. Four different people showed up the next day and took care of everything. Bravo.
