    Most contractors or companies providing services related to home maintenance/improvement. I guess it’s not really a ‘scam’ but you are getting charged 10x+ the cost to do whatever when you could probably do it yourself with some research and persistence.

      This might be true most of the time. My next door neighbor runs a small Handy man biz. You’d be surprised how little he charges compared to larger companies. This is normally detrimental to said business, but he can’t help but to be helpful to people.
