I took it as he was willing to pay the quoted price and did not try to knock
down the price.

Yes, re-reading it I agree with your interpretation. So, it
looks like they no showed to start and/or continue the
job. Which unfortunately a lot of contractors are known
for. Some of it is understandable, because they have
to try to keep the pipeline full and if the job they are on
runs into problems, takes longer, etc, they have to
push out. What there is no excuse for though is when
they do it and don't let you know ahead of time that
they aren't coming. Of if they do it repeatedly or put
you off for weeks....
