I do not subcontract, you need a contractor when you are building a home. You do not need one to fix your fence. If I send you a person, you deal with them directly. If you like them and hire them, you deal directly with them. Some give me a small referral fee, some do the odd favour for me and from some I get nothing. The most important thing to me is a happy customer. For me, A happy customer is a return customer and tells their friends about me. And this is what I like.
