not to bring politics into the arena but lets face it another 4 years of ***** as predicited the economy isn't slowing down. as an owner of a remodeling and new construction business we are booked 6 months out and like many others yes were short handed. if you're waiting for the next recession i wouldn't count on it any time soon. my best advice to you like the current customers i have now they did there research on my company talked to my other current customers, had several meetings in depth discussions on the project at hand and its a huge project btw. then they made there decision. as far as things costing more now??
i would challenge that good honest contractors will be here today and tomorrow. not sure if this has helped you but in short do your homework never take the lowest estimate and look for the best fit for your project. good luck.
