Why won't a contractor come out to the house to give me an estimate?
I called a company that is applying that *liquid vinyl siding*. All I
wanted
was an estimate. Wasn't going to pick a color. He insisted on coming out
in an
evening when the wife was home. I told him that I knew how much we could
afford and if we go with it, then she can choose the color. Nope, he would
not
come out just to give me alone an estimate.
Same for windows. We knew exactly what we wanted. Three sliders, two
double
hung in white. Nope, we both had to be there.
As far as I'm concerned two sales could have been lost because of the
bullheaded stubborn policy.



The man wants one of two things:

He wants to hit on your wife. (not likely)

He wants her there because he is a high pressure salesman who thinks he has
a better chance of getting her to sign while he is there than you. (he has
never met MY wife.)

Shop on. If he/she/it won't follow your simple request/directions, they
will ignore you on other things, too.

I hope you change your verbiage from:

As far as I'm concerned two sales could have been lost because of the
bullheaded stubborn policy.


to: "two sales were definitely lost by those companies for not listening to
me."
