Right folks, more and more I'm hearing that local people are finding it very hard to get local companies to come out to give quotes for various trades.
In the past and also recently, myself and other friends/family members have found the same to be true.
Be it, roofing services, general builders, windows and doors suppliers and garden/ landscaping companies, they seem to be the ones most folk have the most problems with.
Even if they do come out to price a job, they'll say they'll get back to you, but you will, A- never hear from them again, B- you have to continually chase them up, or C- they'll price the job so ridiculously over the top, that you wouldn't give them the job anyway.
You really do get peed off chasing these people, who seem to just string you along.
SO.. If the job isn't for you, PLEASE.. be honest, there's no need to leave folks hanging.
Let me know your personal recommendations please peeps, companies who actually will do as they say they will.
I'm more than happy to promote them on my own page if they've turned up to quote for the job, if they actually deliver the quote, and lastly, if they do a great job.
I'm all for supporting local businesses, π― but come on guys, don't forget where your bread and butter is. Be upfront, be honest and do a damn good job!
