Subcontractors are a mystery to me. I looked for bids for the construction of my house. I got 3 or more bids on each thing & it took some time. Some were rediculously high. For instance the high bid on my electrical was $27K. The low bid was $14K, and I went with a guy that bid $17K. For plumbing, I had one guy bid an even $25K. I ended up going with another for $19.5K The guy that bid $25K came around later & asked what was going on. I told him I had gone with somebody else & asked why his was so high. He said when things are good contractors bid high. What an idiot!
I think your best bet is to just be persistent, keep your eyes open, and kind of do some networking until you come up with something acceptable.
