Your best bet is to call LOCAL professionals. PLEASE don't use services like national home improvement registry, service magic, leads.com, renovationexperts.com,zabidz.com. or any internet marketing service in the home improvemnt catagory. One of these companies once promised to send out 4 PRO's to powerwash a deck. Within 24 hours they had sent 12 contractors this information resulting in the lady being robbed by the supposed PRO they sent out. The honest pro's that they sent were charged a total of $438 for the free estimate that they offer on the internet. BEWARE ALL HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR REFERAL SERVICES ON THE INTERNET!!!

I personally wouldn't walk into a Hope Depot, their stores are dirty, dark, and you can never find help that is knowledgeable.
