[quote=Anonymous]ALL 4 of my neighbors have done MAJOR renovations/addition.  They all drag on much longer than anticipated.  Some contractors are so much more efficient than others.  I work at home and I am amazed at the laziness and cr*p some of them pull (none of them lived in the house when it was going on).  One of the couples I don't know so well had the largest crew and it was the most expensive and took the longest.  These guys used to sleep in a truck in their driveway...sometimes in front of my house..or they'd show up and idle blaring their music directly in front of my house.

Meanwhile- another crew was unbelievable---they were efficient, created no neighborhood chaos, clean, great work and done in half the time.

My final set of neighbors are gearing up this spring for their major renovation.  My kids have asked 'when is the banging going to stop?!!!"  It is driving us all a bit batty.

Take home advice---be very selective with who you choose to do the work.  Get many personal referrals/references and go firsthand and check out their finished work.[/quote]
