I've been pounding nails just south of Madison for well over a decade now, and as much as I like to give the other trades crap, I've not once experienced any of the difficulties with them that I always hear people complaining about. Maybe it's just because in a relatively small community everyone's on a first name basis and no one wants to be "that guy" but they seem to be very leary about touching a stud or joist without talking it over first, even if they have to send pictures and make calls.
Edit: the electricians are still the worst at sweeping up.

I don't really know your particular situation, my comments were more of a general statement and not at anyone in particular, but to put it in perspective it is like putting a Barska scope on your rifle and expecting Zero Compromise performance
My point is hiring people is a crap shoot no matter the cost. My mechanic is top notch. Always busy. He charges less for an oil change than the quick lube places…even with a military discount. Tire rotation is part of his service.
Someone mentioned small jobs. No kidding. Called four “handymen” about installing a patio door. Can’t get the time of day.
I had this same problem. They always answer when my girl sends any kind of request though.
I created a FB profile that has a good looking, early 30s female picture, and every contractor, every marketplace ad, every everything that I used that profile for got a response. Feels sleazy setting that one up, and it was more than anything else, to prove a point to myself, but it works.
