Depending on the trade it can sure be hard to find someone that's available and reputable. Please also give the classifieds strong consideration, be it existing ads or posting a wanted ad. A lot of folks look to the forums for more discussion-ish stuff and you may get lost in the cracks if you aren’t using the section of the site with the highest traffic that’s geared so well to commercial/buying/selling traffic. Keep in mind that service recommendations you see in the forums are sometimes recommendations by self or friends, so you will still want to do your due diligence outside of here once you have some names. Sometimes friends know best, other times they mean very well but don't always make the best neutral unbiased testimonial.
Good luck!
