For a lot of different reasons, there's lots of bad work out there.
You're as likely to get bad work from an independent as you are
from one of a big box's contractors.


I agree with this totally. The big difference with these HD jobs is that
more times than nought the buyers are cheap. You might get a great job
of laying carpet done, but the carpet is crap and wears out in 10 years.
But this isn't a reflection on the contractor, it's a reflection on the
customer.
