I have lost a lot of trust in trades people here. There are some I trust and recommend them to others, but it means that they are very busy when needed!
Exactly the "drama" in these parts. And, of course, the most capable and highly "rated" professionals don't want to miss out on "bigger" jobs to the detriment of earning a higher income. They prefer a complete renovation of a whole apartment, or even just one apartment, rather than just part of it.
Hope you find someone decent :)
It's truly a feeling and a mutual desire. Believe me.
