Echols Plumbing & Air Conditioning

After the company said it was interested in giving a bid/​estimate for the plumbing work I wanted done at my barn, I sent the plans to the company. For the next 9 days I worked with Echols — answering its questions and providing relevant information — so that it would be fully informed when formulating its bid. Low and behold the company, through a very nice women, said that due to «unforeseen circumstances» it would not be bidding on my project. No explanation was given as to what the unforeseen circumstances were. No call from the owner even after I requested he call me so that I could understand if maybe there was some kind of problem with my plans, etc. Or maybe the job was not profitable enough for the company (although the company’s website says No job too small or too big.
I wasted 9 days of my time with this company, and it did not even has the respect to discuss the matter with me. Instead it used an employee to do its dirty work.
I guess in hindsight this is good. Who knows how the company would have performed if it did bid and undertook the work.
