Find a good one through word of mouth, the local bldg dept, etc. I'd get an structural engineer, plumber, HVAC and electrician to look over things as well.

When was the last time your building inspector(s) recommened a subcontractor for you? It is too bad that most guys in your ared do not know what they are doing. I know a good few that really know their stuff and this is the land of everyonw's a contractor who own a saw and a hammer.
I have worked with a few structural guys. Many are very good, but I haven't met one that would like to craw under a house or get in an attic. They guys have always managed to get the city to sign off on some nutty stuff. I don't mean to be offensive, HVAC and electrical, I would agree with you.
