Without asking for references and not ever seeing their work before, you’re not going to know until they actually do the job. If you want to hire someone, call around, ask questions, ask for references, etc. You get what you pay for.

Hire a licensed contractor! If you don’t, you may have no recourse if things go badly. Check your not-so-friendly-home-improvement box store for a bulletin board that will have names of folks that will do what you want. Get a list of references from them and MAKE THE CALLS. Legit contractors won’t hesitate. Check with your state’s contractor’s licensing board. The site will tell you if the guy has had any problems. Make sure you have a contract and DONT PAY THE ENTIRE AMOUNT until youre satisfied. Look, there are plenty of great handyman type folks that do superb work out there (ask that painter for referrals). There are plenty of licensed contractors that aren’t worth taking out and beating with a stick. Like the guy said, its your money and you need to do the things that will get you the most for it. Do your homework. Lowest cost isn’t always a good thing.
