Looking for licensed, honest contractor in Deming, Silver City or Las Cruces (Columbus: house)

Hi, my house in Columbus has water damage from burst pipes that occurred during the below zero weather a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking for a licensed contractor who is also honest and will not overcharge to replace sheetrock that was damaged (walls and ceilings). Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks very much!

It has been five days since you posted. Have you found a contractor?

I suggest calling the local Chamber of Commerce, Better Business Bureau or checking with the local drywall suppliers. Once you have a few names ask for references and check them.

At worst you can buy a book on the art of Drywall and do it yourself. Or just live with the damage.

@ GregW, thanks for the reply. I did check the Better Business Bureau and have found a couple of names that I'm looking into. I will also check with the local drywall suppliers; that's a great suggestion. I know how to do install drywall, I don't have the time to do it. And if you saw the damage, you wouldn't say to just live with it.
