I need a contractor for a garage remodel that I need to be completed within 2 months. There are a lot of sources on the internet and in phone books, but I am worried the referred contractors are paying to be referred and will be pricey or just not do a good job.

Any tips on how I can find a contractor from an unbiased source?

I love Angie's List. I have used it several times to find people for jobs and have been happy every single time. You have to pay to subscribe. If you google "Angie's List, code and coupon" you can usually find a $10 off coupon.

Second Angie's List. Go with someone with tons of good reviews and an A rating and you're almost certainly not going wrong.

ServiceMagic is free, but they aren't as reliable up here as they are in other cities. Get Angie's list.

I agree with jenlion. I only use those who are A rated and I have been completely satisfied in every single case.
