Not long ago we hired a guy off CL to do some tiling work and he turned out to be the FIL of the chief building inspector in our municipality. His work was VERY good and on time! :)

All the trouble you had in the residential arena and you hire someone off Craigslist?? You got lucky on that one, usually those are the bottom feeders, not all of them of course. Glad it worked out for you :)

First thing we did was check references and qualifications. He was a retired guy that had been in the trade a long time and knew his stuff. I hate doing caulking and he was freakin' good at it! Not everyone on CL is bad.
