I have a local man (Middle Georgia) but you are in N. Georgia. We had him run about 1,100 feet of water line with three stub outs w/shutoffs this year. Surprisingly affordable considering the work.
Have you tested the water?
I know there are counties that have water lines running to (or near) property sometimes and they will pass an ordinance that prohibits the connection of a well to a home when county water is available. They'll "let you" water your grass or garden with well water but...
Is there a thread for the screw-ups? You could call him out and likely not get a point as long as he isn't a friend or family member of a mod here. Just to help others avoid him.
Good luck in your search. I've been doing my own repairs and painting. It's not easy work.
