This has only happened to me a couple times, but usually for smaller jobs that didn't pay too much. i did have one contractor say that it was too small of a job and denied the work (which i appreciated, since i'm not left hanging).
we usually have a roofer for the roof, the plumber for the water system, etc... but for small jobs we have a specific "handy man" that we call. They are pretty good with doing the small stuff. Also, much happier if I package several small jobs that can keep them there all day.
I have a general GC that I love. He's like Scotty's painter - slow, but extremely methodical. The bonus is his book rate is way lower than most in the area. Unfortunately, he can't replace my roof and de-painting my house with a wire brush would take him like three months.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
