look, I grew up in the painting/remodeling business working for my grandfather. We do excellent work, the kind normal people like me can't afford :) But anyway, he always told me, pay attention bill, "when you are hiring a new painter, or carpenter, there skills, although important, are not near as important as how hard a worker they are!! Ignorance can be lessened, work ethic cannot!!" thats basically what he said, but in a much more southern hick accent
so, through some references, find out how hard of a worker they are first. my grandfather said if they are truly a hard worker, that will be the first thing the reference will say!!
