Hi, I would ask for references to friends and to neighbors. If they had projects recently completed, they will share their experience working with their contractor. Also, once you have a name or two, ask for references and reach out to them. Do not work with anyone who can't provide 2 positive references.
Feel free to reach out to me and I can give you a few names. Cheers,
