Where did the Customer Service go??

What happens here

He describes a recent experience having HVAC work done at his home by a contractor recommended by a plumber friend, 'Stoney Ridge Farmer'. He initially had high hopes due to his friend's reputation for quality work in new construction. However, the HVAC work was subpar, with the contractor using MDF scraps to level an outdoor AC unit in a rainy climate, leading to swelling. The speaker expresses his frustration with contractors who don't respect the homeowner's property or pets, or who perform 'shoddy work'. He highlights the declining state of customer service in trades, where quality and respect seem to be overlooked.

Goal: The speaker shares recent frustrating experiences with contractors who delivered subpar work and lacked professionalism, contrasting it with the quality expected from a friend's referral.
