Default Let me correct a misconception about hiring a contractor.

Too many people are watching too much HGTV and similar channels and
getting the idea that a contractor is supposed to finish a job very

do; he works by the job. The more carefully he or she works the better
a job he or she is going to do. So the slower he works the better. No
I’m not talking about those contractors that come late to the job
sight and leave early or never show-up at all. That’s not working
slowly, that’s just not working period. Unless you’re planing on
selling the house and moving away as soon as possible as homeowner
what you want is a carefully and meticulously done job not a fast one.


Good, fast or cheap. You can buy any two of the three, but you can't
buy all three.
