Looking for contractors in SE Michigan

this part of the RE business is killing me! i find it harder to find and work with a contractor than finding the next deal!

i had a contractor lined up to start on a house today and he stopped taking my calls. No money was exchanged, but he promised that 15th is when he was available and would start the work.

Luckily, there was a delay with the loan and loan docs, so i have not closed on the house. I am even thinking of not closing on the house because i can't find a contractor.

I have been to Home Depot, i have been to Contractor forums looking for contractors. a couple came and gave me a crazy quote, some never came. most never gave me a call back.

I have a really hard time getting contractors in the Livonia/Westland/Downriver/Wayne country areas. I have gone through 10-15 guys in the last 2-3 yrs. 

I tried a "handyman" from CL and he turned out to be a hack. 

any suggestions, recommendations, ideas?
