I have done it and did it for the same reason. The market was too hot at the time, the builders were making big bucks and wanted a premium of 35-40% to fool with me. I figured I couldn't make that many mistakes and I didn't.

You will need to figure your subs will charge you more since you are a one time customer. Really good competitive subs are probably still getting work and you'll pay a 10-15% premium and more if you don't know pricing. You will also be a fill in job. That's disruptive to your timing. When one sub gets out of step it fouls up the ones in line.

Distinguishing between a good sub and a "handyman" is the tough part. Some local guys will tell you that they can do everyting and they can't. Let's face reality. High production subs are not anywhere near Lake Martin. You really need some contact in the building biz to go through the selection process. Sorry for the rambling and good luck!
