Lots of good advice here. It is definitely okay (and not unethical in any way) to refuse jobs that your gut tells you will not go well.
After being in business for 15 years, you have developed the instinct for these difficult cases and have more than earned the
right to follow your gut.
With that said, if you know of some other guys/shops who would probably be able to use the extra work and wouldn't do a crummy job, call them one day soon and tell them about this situation, and tell them you might give them a call once in awhile with a short description of a job you don't want to see if they'd like to take it...
...with the understanding that it's probably one that has set off red flags for you, and if they don't want to take it, there would be no hard feelings.
But it might work out well for them... and they might send you some jobs that aren't within their range of experience in return. Win-win in that case.
