the only sure advice is to get word of mouth referrals...

second to that is actually seeing completed work and hopefully talking to the customer...

pictures are usually worth squat and can easily be pirated from another person's work...

believe it or not if the person drives a decent truck that is a good indication...if they have the money for a payment they are most likely being kept busy...

a 'contractor' who actually works in the field is good also...many are just salesman and sub out all work to possibly unknown, lowest bid, idiots...see the above about those that actually do hands on work as that is obviously a sign of direct experience and skill that is hands down better than a slick talker who knows squat
