Hiring Question

#1 Post by copykatpro »

I have a verbal agreement with someone to do a job. He's been pretty responsive until recently. I emailed him last Monday to set up a time to sign the paperwork. He never responded so I called Friday. I forget what his excuse was but he said he'd email me this week and we'd take care of it mid week. It's now Friday. This has me concerned so I'm considering hiring someone else. Is this within my right, am I being a jerk if I did? I just want to know if I'm being impatient and if I should call or email him again. I'd like to hear people's thoughts.

I'd find someone else. Simply tell him you have lost confidence and want to work with a contractor who you think will be more responsive. If he can't even return your calls and emails before the job starts, what do you think is going to happen after the job is complete, if there is a problem?
