It's a strange phenomona. Don't ask me to explain it. I used to be you when I was on the other side of the fence.
People that are spending the money can say, I hate blah, blah, blah. It may not be right, but they're spending the money and they have a right to expect excellent service. If contactors hate home owners, that's a big problem with the industry as I assume, home owners are contractors bread and butter.
