Back to the contractor drawing board
-
Here’s what I told him:
“ Yes, we will look for another contractor. I'll tell you why so you'll understand how I see it. Half up front for materials doesn't make sense to me. Then I felt pretty jerked around last night. The whole picture just eroded my confidence in getting a trouble free job. ”
I was hoping he would see I was trying to help him in the future. Here is his response:
“ Half up front isn't terrible by the way to pay for the material and to pay for my plumber and my framer that I'm going to use also wasn't trying to jerk you around when I said 8:30 and it was like 8:40 8:45 when I was going to get to your house you can only push your family and a waitress to hurry up so much at a restaurant no big deal I guess..
also you called me cuz you got my name from somebody that thought I did a pretty good job and everything so it's not like I'm some fly by the night guy just trying to come in... anyway have a nice day and I'll remove you from my schedule”I made the right decision. I've never seen a project start badly and get better.
