[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contractors may be good or great at their craft but not so great with business or with people.  
You have the right to get as many estimates as you want! 5, 10, 25! Who cares? There are thousands of contractors in the DC metro area. They aren't going to weekly meetings and sharing stories of estimates they gave. 
Also are you a woman? I've dealt with some who are so arrogant and sexist! Also for some their assumptions are insulting, that you not serious, don't have the money, don't know what you are talking about, etc. I had one tell me what want will cost a lot. What is a lot? That's not for him to decide! It actually wasn't a lot in my opinion but I will never work with him.[b] Also I've had contractors call me up a few months later asking if I am still interested because they can start right away.

Trust and believe they all aren't busy in this economy. [/quote]

They put off small jobs that aren't really money makers to them. They stay mostly busy with larger contract work doing multiple new builds or renovations at a time. [/quote]
