How do you find contractors? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

We have a couple big projects that I'm not comfortable doing myself (mainly roof/foundation repair).

I've had a couple contractors out that I found on google and have been very displeased. Their work might be good but jesus the salesmen they send out.

They range from overly aggressive to incompetent.

So how do you find good contractors? I've noticed the bigger the company, the worse the impression.

I'm a new homeowner and I also don't know how to find good quality contractors. For now I resort to posting on my city's subreddit to ask for recommendations. Also, recommendations from friends that have hired them in the past.
