I’ve got a retaining wall for my driveway that’s leaning. I need to get it replaced. I’m now on my third attempt to get someone to come and look at it and quote me for the job.
The first guy said he’d be by later in the day to take a look. Never showed. Don’t respond to messages.
The second said he’d come by in the next day or two. Texted me to say he’s running behind and would come by on Monday. Guess what? Didn’t show and is ghosting me.
Who knows if the third will show up. I’m waiting.
This isn’t the first time this has happened. I did a kitchen reno a few years ago and had the same issues. Bathroom reno, same thing. Window replacement? Same.
I get maybe my project isn’t worth it and you have more lucrative customers. No big deal but just let me know so I’m not left hanging and can look for someone else. Also so I’m not hanging around all day so I don’t miss you coming by.
Seems like a lot of tradespeople may be good at their trade but absolutely suck at being business people and basic communication and courtesy.
