Check Angie's List for recomendations on contractors. Its kinda like a user based review on contractors. You'll be able to tell the good ones from the bad.

I used it for my remodeling jobs and always had really good results with the people I hire.

The only bad thing is that you have to pay for the year subscription but it's well worth it and saves you money and headaches with bad contractors. I got it for one year free becuase of a promotional deal.

Oh, you can also check the BBB the the people you plan to hire.

why not do it yourself? Your local hardware stores have employees that are always willing to help - I use the term always loosely ...

I have a brother-in-law that does this kind of work. He is a contractor and can give you a really good deal. If interested, shoot me a PM and I will let him know.
