I tried late last year to get a concrete patio poured. I couldn't get a single contractor to even come out. This year I started contacting them in late March. After contacting roughly 10 different contractors, I finally got 1 to show up. He suggested I just build a deck. I was shocked.. He then stated he doesn't do decks. I was like, WTF?? I told him I wasn't interested in building a deck so he told me to give him a couple days to work up an estimate. He never called. I was able to get another guy to come out on a Monday. He looked at it, gave me a price then I told him to do it. He said he would be out Thursday to prep and Friday to pour. Thursday rolled around, he didn't show. I called him and he told me he was stuck out of town working another job. He told me he'd be out the following week. He never showed. I called another business. They told me they would be out on x day. They didn't show. The guy that was out of town decided to show up almost a month later. I was like, are you kidding me?? I went ahead and had him do it only because I was tired of practically begging contractors to take my money. I've struggled mightily to have some other stuff done. Some of the companies I talked to about some other projects told me they were booked solid for 3-4 month's. I was shocked that they stay that busy.
