JEC

I received a phone call from Jose, saying he could arrive to my house around 1pm. He was very prompt and in fact I was 5 minutes behind. When I arrived I shook his hand. He was with another guy who he introduced as "my friend". Then I showed them the work that needed to be done. He works by the job and not the hour. His quote was $150. When I asked how long it would approximately take, I was told about an hour and half. I was pretty taken back and said, "You know that's $100 an hour". I asked if he could come down to $100 which is still $66 an hour. He asked if I could come up to $125 in order to pay the guy who was with him-who he apparently farms out jobs to. I thought $83 an hour and change was still expensive, but agreed. Than Jose told me that he had another job to go to and would be in touch with me. I asked if he planned on doing the work. He again said, "I'll call you". I said, "That's okay, but please just let me know if you plan on coming back or not so I don't have to sit here all day waiting for nothing". He said, "Okay". Well, I waited an hour, than called him and reached his voicemail. I left a message asking if he planned on doing the job. Long and short, I never heard back. IMO, that's no way for a business owner to do business. All I needed was a call or text to let me know he wasn't going to make it. Disappointing.
