Confusing Contractors... help!

Abbie Gibson
Posted

So we are looking to turn the half bath on the second floor of our house into a full bath, so we can turn that into a separate unit and house hack. We had a contractor come over to evaluate the job. He did not take any measurements, didn't take any notes about where we wanted things to go, said we were being too pushy when we asked for references and proof of insurance, and flat out refused to give us a sketch/plan of what he would be doing. He sent over a contract and it was a complete joke. Nothing was listed in detail, and when we pushed him for details, he said everything was obvious as to what would be completed. I asked if he would paint the drywall, and he said no. Would have thought that would be an "obvious" included step, but apparently not. We are not going with him. 

We are based in Bristol RI. Does anyone have contractor recommendations for the area?? We need someone better than this.
