closing a deal with the contractor

wooo, this is very tiring, we are now in the stage of finding a guy to handle all of our house changes and improvements and this is:
1. tiring - very tiring
2. expensive - very very expensive
3. make you want to take some kind of huge hammer and do it all by yourself, i dont know what it is, they just all seem really really fishy...oh geez
