Contractors that don't even give a quote??
I've had this happen a few too many times lately, and it's severely stalling my project. I'll call a contractor - maybe a personal recommendation, maybe from Angie's List or whatever - and ask for a quote. They come out and look at it, tell me they'll get back to me in the next day or two, and I NEVER HEAR BACK. I even have followed up to say "where's my quote?" and hear nothing in return. Any reason they would just not want the work?

totally normal, kurt. these are contractors; the vast majority cannot manage their current project, let alone their businesses (and i AM a contractor lol).
like real estate leads, contractors are a numbers game. call 10 of them: 6 return the call, 4 set up a meeting, only 2 show, sign a contract with one, repeat.
