a neighbor once hired a lousy, unethical roofer. her roof leaked (during winter) that resulted in water damage and it knocked out the furnace.(pipes froze and then more water damage...)
she sued, the company declared bankruptcy and disappeared. she was in court for 2 years.

That's exactly what I was afraid of. Just searching the BBB & county and state databases for "bad contractors" isn't enough, since they have a habit of declaring bankruptcy and then coming back under a different name. This happened to my cousin, and they really screwed up her home, costing nearly $40,000 just to fix what they screwed up! She and about 8 other families have been fighting the guy in court now for about 4 years. They've been very happy with everyone they've since found through Angie's List.
