^It's especially amusing to me as most residential projects (other than new neighbourhood development) are bespoke one-offs. You're not going to get precisely what a contractor would show off in their "showroom", and frankly you don't want that anyway. All you need to know from a contractor is the quality of their means and methods, which you're not going to get from a show piece at an office. They'll spend waaaaay more effort making something pretty to show off to prospective clients than they would spend on your house. The best thing you can hope for is photos from previous projects, and testimonials from other customers.
