Just be careful, a lot of bad contractors out there, it is best to know someone that knows someone. Good Luck!
I think that Figuringitout means to wait to make friends who you trust and then listen to their recommendations or religiously read this forum.

Many people want to do a lot of things right away, and maybe waiting for about six months is the better way. Wait until you see some of the things that your new friends have done and hear who is good or bad to do it.

And wait until you see some things you just love and the kind of Florida style that is just the right kind for you. Cut out pictures of things that you adore in magazines and think about it for awhile.

A lot of folks have had things done when they first moved here that they regret later.

OR NOT.

Whatever makes YOU happy.
