[QUOTE="16colt, post: 4382360, member: 529"] The incompetency doesn’t stop at the handyman level. Contractors are just as bad. The guy that comes out and gives the quote and tells you how much experience he has and what great work he can do rarely is involved with the actual labor. They seem to hire the cheapest hands they can find so they (contractor) can put more money in his pocket when the job is completed. Very little concern anymore for quality results of a given project. In my experience, this has been the case for roofers, carpenters (frame and finish), concrete guys, masons, and painters. If you DO spot a good one, you better get his number for future reference and next time, deal with the guy directly. [/QUOTE]
