I don't get it, why show up for an estimate, if you're not going to follow through??????? I don't give a S*** seems to be the new normal!
Work is so plentiful right now that customer service goes right out the window. I don't envy folks in construction right now. You have to give out estimates but have to balance your workload too. I think some guys haven't adjusted their estimating for the demand that's out there and too much work is coming in. Still no excuse for piss poor communication though.
