Almost every person we've hired to fix anything on our house has ended up screwing it up.
My goal now is to keep it holding together until I can retire and then fix it myself.
I've found that with time, patience, and a willingness to learn, I can get better results than most "professionals".
With any luck it will be in good, sellable shape by the time I die, so the kids can get some money from it.
Licenses and bonds are public info at the state level. Like with most licensed professions, any issues are public too. Found this while looking up potential electricians. Most of the time, it appeared to be not enough higher level electricians per journeymen. One guy had a lapsed license.
