Rule of thumb: the more something is advertised, the more shit it is for one reason or another, and you'll do well to avoid it altogether. When I'm advising people on contractors, my number 1 rule is: if they're on TV, they're criminals, I promise you.

    I help friends and family with minor plumbing repairs and they will tell me:

    oh I had "x" company come and they did that

    " well it's all wrong "

    They charged me a lot of money for that!

    " why on earth would you have called them"

    Because I saw their advertisement on TV. I thought they were good

    " nah they're crooks"
