Q: I’ve contacted several contractors, and they said they would give me a quote, but they’re not calling me back. It’s frustrating! Don’t they want my business? Why?

A: There could be many reasons.
Many contractors mean well, but they are not equipped to do the clerical and organizational aspect of the construction business. That is part of what a General Contractor provides to a client. Another possibility is that the project you need done requires the aid from another professional, such as an architect or interior designer. Many people see that as a waste of money, but if you’re going to spend money on your home, don’t you want to make the most of it? Drawings also help in receiving ‘apples to apples’ quotes from the subcontractors, and ensure you are getting what you’re promised.
