I had a general contractor admit to me that he completely forgot about my request because he had other jobs on the go. Nothing major, just some roof flashing that needed to be repaired and some drywall on my garage ceiling that had some water damage from the rain due to the flashing. He couldn't find a roofing contractor willing to quote the job because it was too small.
So I found my own roofer to fix it, and now he wants to do the drywall, but can't get to me until August because he's busy with his other 2 clients. No quote yet either. I may just find someone else because my faith in him is not high. I understand being busy, and I've had my share of dropping the ball on prospects, but this is something else entirely. Not a great sense of professionalism. Not a young guy either, he's older, likely past or close to retirement, but apparently still wants to run the business. Whatever. I'm looking elsewher I think.

@JohnsNotHere@infosec.exchange yeah not a good sign when he bailed on you under the best of circumstances. Can you imagine what you'd have to deal with if things went sideways halfway through a project? Feels like you dodged a bullet there
