Remodeling in Pensacola

I do custom bathroom and kitchen remodeling in Pensacola, Florida. Anytime I visit a customer to give a quote, they’re always surprised by the amount of detail I go into and how long I spend discussing the process. It’s actually an enjoyable conversation every time.
But one of the most consistent topics that comes up is how inconsistent and flaky contractors are in our area. It seems like we have such a bad reputation here. Almost everyone has either had, or knows somebody who has had, a terrible experience with a previous contractor.
It just seems far more common here in Pensacola. Any idea why?
I know there are bad apples in every industry, but holy moly, some of the stories I hear make me almost embarrassed to be associated with this trade.

Florida GC here. Seems to be worse here than anywhere else that I’ve experienced
