As a Realtor I'm frequently asked for recommendations for contractors, plumbers, electricians, etc. I want to be helpful but I HATE recommending anyone less than stellar. I usually buy my clients a subscription to Angie's List but I'd love to have a few names in my pocket.
So my question to you is, have you hired anyone who wasn't just competent but (as important) also reliable? And can you share those names here? By reliable I mean: 1. Shows up when he says he will. 2. Works steadily until the job is done (vs. hopping from job to job). 3. Does what he says he will do. 4. Completes the job with minimal drama. To put it another way, can you recommend someone you trust based on your successful experience with that person? Thanks in advance!
