That sounds par for the course. Contractors may be good at what they do or mediocre at what they do but there is one constant: they are terrible business people. The majority of them could not work for anyone but themselves because if they behaved the way they did, poor communication, showing up late or not at all, cutting corners, getting hostile about normal setbacks or changes,  screw up the budget, they'd be fired. Then they want to act as if they won't get out of bed for less than $100k yet they are behind on their rent or they had to pawn their tools for $$ or they are arrested for back child support (that actually happened to one I hired and we knew the guy!) When their deadline is approaching (through no fault of the homeowner) and they know they are only halfway finished they start rushing and screwing up or they just disappear.  [/quote]

I usually gave up hiring and dig as that’s been our experience but we don’t want to do this. [/quote]
