What's the best way to choose a contractor?
Due to a leaking roof and some water damage I've dealt with two contractors in the past couple of months, both of who were highly recommended by friends. However, both of them ended up doing things in a non-standard way and not to best practices. I ended up either having to redo the work, or finding out after the fact when it was too late to do anything about it.
So, how do you find someone who'll do things the right way and without cutting corners?
