Not at all, we don't touch residential - our clients are like Metrovan, MoTI, cities, etc., and our job is to make sure the stuff they construct meet code/spec.

Vetting contractors are definitely a struggle, but this is 2022 - online reviews are a thing, as is word of mouth. Go with the bigger companies with big crews if possible, or a smaller company where the lead guy overseeing the work has actual experience, and is there to see oversee your job personally.

A few years ago I randomly drove by a driveway being paved, and I kid you not it was about 4 old EI men wearing sandals, who were using planks with rope tied on the ends to walk around the thing making it flat. That's what you want to avoid.
