In SW Florida they simply have all the work they can handle.

Then why do they keep advertising? I just called three contractors to
have a job done. Two have ads in the local newspaper, but they didn't
return my calls. I understand there are some bad customers, but that
doesn't justify a lack of courtesy. The third one returned my call the
next day, then stopped two days later to quote the job and will be here
next week to do the job. I've seen his work, it's good and the price is
not the lowest but it's fair. This is the definition of a professional.
