We received a quote from this company for a home addition. We agreed with the pricing and the owner provided us with a contract to review. We reviewed that contract, and he made minor revisions to the wording and sent back to us to sign. We signed the contract and scanned it to back to him. We were told he would start in September of last year, but he never showed up. He would make a few excuses over the next few months, until he ran out of them. He stopped responding to calls, texts and emails and even ignored a certified letter that we sent to his business. As a way to get out of the very contract he wrote, he simply ignored the very contract he submitted to us to sign. I think every builder owes it to the other party on the contract to communicate and to be honest. It is unethical to simply change your mind and to feel you can 'withdraw a bid', after the legal contract is signed, without ever bothering to inform the other party. If we had known this would happen, we never would have wasted our time on this builder.
