Contractor Keeps Picking Up Other Jobs During My Flips

[James Robert]

I have a contractor whom I met from a friend of a friend. He is a jack of all trades. This is the second house flip I hired him for. First one went about 30-45 days over what was expected. He is a one man show so I get it however he keeps picking up other jobs during my flips. I am torn on how to handle this, he is priced so well. He is only charging me 17k in labor for a whole house rehab. Not including bathrooms updates though. I pay my bathroom guy separate for those. Do I be firm and say look man I don't appreciate you picking up other jobs while I have holding costs on this or do I say no problem. The jobs he takes on for side gigs are like 2-3 day jobs but they take away from my flips.
