This is a growing problem in our area. We are asking for the help of other licensed contractors to assist in weeding these guys out and we are finding a lot of resistance as some of the lic. contractors are actually sub-ing work out to these guys for less money. Some have asked us not to make waves. I want to point out to them the reprecautions they may face by doing this to unsuspecting homeowners.
