I was wondering if anyone knows of a good resource to find contractors? I
have been looking online and all I have seen are sites where you have to
describe the job then wait to get called from a contractor or if I find a
directory type of site there is a limited number of contractors in my area,
but I know there are many more. I am trying to build my first house and I
was planning on hiring all the contractors so I need a good resource to
find them. Something with reviews and article would also be very
beneficial, please let me know if anyone knows of a good place to look.

Glowing reports, especially online, are pretty meaningless unless you
know the work and the sources. I would begin with neighbors or others
you know in the area where you intend to build....know their experiences
and look at the results. That is the beginning, to get names so you can
check legal records for problems.

Planning on hiring all the contractors? Sounds like something only an
experienced builder would attempt...there are loads of pitfalls,
especially if you have no building experience. Got an architect? Attorney?
