Nope. It’s a crapshoot any way you slice it. Asking for referrals helps.
About ready to give up. This is like a second job just trying to reschedule everything over and over.
Don’t hire anyone without a referral from someone you think is trustworthy. There’s a lot of sketchy work going around.
Thanks. Unfortunately I can't even get to the point of hiring someone if they won't even show up. Sigh. Guess I'm an electrician-carpenter-plumber now. Consulting was nice while it lasted.
Home advisor has been pretty good for me.

We went through this nightmare when we just bought our condo. Did you try to ask on Nextdoor?

Our electrician did our work, 6k without doing inspection. then he ghosted us. Noone wanted to take over. It took us another 2 years and lots of money to get someone finish it. Complete nightmare. If you want electrician contact, DM me. I got it from our neighbors upstairs and they used him for years already.
I find Nextdoor helpful in finding good recommendations. Basically just ask if they have any recs and whoever ppl mention most, give it a try
My friend works at a local startup that is trying to solve this exact problem! I haven’t used them personally yet but it sounds cool https://www.forgeco.com/
