I'm using a contractor that cold called me on a small job
He's doing some light painting and a soffit job
He sent me his 1099, and a nice detailed bid/contract
Has been very prompt and follows up
He said they're slow with work right now, at the start of summer which is a red flag to me
The job started and I started to find some things out
1) He doesn’t have a truck so he can’t pick up any materials, he drives a car
2) He complained about a tiny bees nest and was asking me what to do about it
3) He doesn’t have access to a ladder to reach high enough up to complete the job, and he can’t pick one up because he doesn’t have a truck lol
