For instance if you are looking for a Trustworthy plumber, you can post a tweet in Twitter and ask for referrals. Be careful of spammers who may connect with your keywords. Trust the comments that come from within your network.

If it's a relatively small job, you may be happy to commission them to do the work. However, if the quote is substantial, you may want to consider using the details they mentioned earlier (point 7) to seek quotes elsewhere.
