When you need big jobs done on your house (replace the roof, resurface the driveway, etc.) look around and see if any of your neighbors need the same job done. You have a lot of bargaining power with the contractor if you can talk about two jobs, next door to each other. For work that takes a lot of setup time, it hardly costs more to do two jobs once they get rolling.
