If you had to replace a ceiling tile, that is, a section of drywall, sheet rock, gypsum wallboard, and were thinking that the entire ceiling needed replacing, a dishonest contractor would not hesitate to say, "I CAN REPLACE THE ENTIRE CEILING FOR YOU IF YOU WANT." - but an honest contractor would look at the ceiling's condition and ask a few questions then conclude the following, "I don't need to replace the entire ceiling. The damage I can see is only over here and there." - and that is what went down today. But, in spite of his honesty, the price was over our current budget. So, that said, I know I will likely call that man back, when I have more money to cover all expenses. An honest contractor will say, "I can replace that section and that section over there for so much, but I can not take down that ceiling fan, because I am not an electrician." - So we had to consider the fact that although the man WAS honest, he will not do for this particular job because of the simple fact that not only the ceiling has damage and part of it needs replacing, that ceiling fan needs to be removed and we will take our time to consider another contractor to look at that ceiling and fan fixture and get a second or perhaps a third consult until we can find that ONE HONEST CONTRACTOR who can both replace all that is needing replacing and also remove that ugly ceiling fan that is not functional. Seriously, most contractors work hand in hand with drywall people, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and painters to do a room or an entire house makeover. The most important thing to remember is to find AN HONEST CONTRACTOR. GET THE ESTIMATE IN WRITING before moving forward with your home makeover projects.
