Roger my point was that these consumer protection baords out there teach consumers out there that they should question all contractors as if there is a rampant culture of corruption. And seem to warn those same people that even if that person is licensed (even by that same board) they are still probhably cooks.

Dont get me wrong there are those who give us all a bad name. But I think it should be left at checking the license number in good standing, not getting into the general apperance of the person. (He has a cell-phone and a pick-up, I'm calling the cops...) Because I think these type of generalizations are mis-leading. You could have a big shiny add in the phone book, drive a van with a big ad on the side, (leave the cell-phone inside it) with a phone number that leads you to a nice secretary and still end up with a poorly done job or worse ripped off....

I dont think I am alone in the thinking that many states teach this contractor fear unjustifiably.
