I don't get it!

So, we're going to have our deck rebuilt. After getting a few estimates, we decided on one company and contacted them. They were supposed to get back to us to set up an appointment to go over planning details and scheduling, at which time we would make the initial payment. That was a week and a half ago. We followed up with e-mails and Ian said he'd call them today.

I realize this doesn't necessarily reflect on the quality of the decks they build, and from what I hear, this is not uncommon among contractors. I don't get it, though! Um, hello, we want to give you money if only you'd get back to us!

We had similar problems when building the house. I don't know why it's so difficult to give people money!

Preaching to the choir.

We met with the contractors for our basement remodel in MARCH. It's like pulling teeth to get the start date of SEPT 1st. Take my money!

Yep, we've experienced similar issues with contractors. I don't get it either. Hope you get a response today!

How annoying and sad if that is common for the industry. I hope they provide a response soon, and that when they take your initial payment they will be more attentive!

I can understand your frustration!!!  It is as if they don't want to take your money.  So annoying.

I had a cleaning company come by to take a look at the studio and then they were supposed to send me an estimate.  That was 2 weeks ago.
