Human: I need to make some improvements to my house. What is the best way to find a good contractor? Assistant: 
The best way to find a good contractor is to research online and ask for referrals from friends and family who have had experience with contractors in your area. Additionally, you can look up reviews of local contractors on sites like Yelp or Angie's List. Once you have gathered information about potential contractors, contact them directly and discuss your project. Ask questions about their experience, qualifications, and rates before making a decision.
