SAN DIEGAN asked:


I’m looking for a good contractor for the price and the work. I prefer the contractor be in the San Diego, California area. Thanks for the help.

Mom of 2 great boys asked:


This is so weird. Up North I never had this problem. I live near Charlotte, NC and we are trying to build a large, and I mean large garage with other things that will probably cost us around $40k.

I have called several contractors to come out for an estimate, and no one shows up! They set an appointment and no show.

Why? Do they have that much work that they don’t need a job?
I have looked on the internet, phone book, you name it, and these are reputable companies and no one will come.

Any suggestions?

Please don’t say, do it ourselves, believe me, if my husband had the time he would, but he travels out of town often.
Absolutly not, we do not live in a rough neighborhood.
Very easy to get too.
We called each one back, and they say that they will get to us.
Go figure. We have tried several different times of the year, being the summer most contractors have a lot of work going on.
Again, never did we have this problem in NY.

Concerned Home Owner asked:


We hired a contractor who hired subs to build our home. Right before we moved in, we found a problem in the back yard where the water was not draining properly. We also found that one of the bathroom’s drain pipe was leaking. Both problems were fixed however, the home owner’s warranty we received by the builder states that “any leakage from faucet or toilet will not be covered under warranty after the first 30 days”
However, other part of the warranty states “any structural error or material problems will be covered under warranty within the first year”.
Not sure what to do if the leakage happens again in the future. Will it be covered under warranty?
