Hi andrewtcrane

Why are you trying to contact your U.S contractor? Then you have to pay them too right? You can directly contact some Indian professional. That much money you are going to save.
If the question is about reliability then you can also make then fool right? (Dont take it other wise).

I would say, contact some Indian professional pay him just 30% of whole amount. After complition of work pay the rest. Your are saving hell lot of money.
