You think it's bad getting them to show up and bid? Wait until whoever you pick screws it up and try getting them back.

This is the worst part. My wife (no pics) painted a few rooms in our house and they we hired a contractor to do a few rooms including the high ceilings. He first told us our last painter (wife) did great work, then proceeded to do a crappy job, we had him back three times and he made a bigger mess, then told us we didn't know what we were doing and DIY'ers should be quiet.

Then he sent us a bill with all kinds of extras included such as "gas money for running around town". I refused to pay it.
