Scheduling multiple contractors for bids

[Sam Leon]

I try to minimize having to be at the property, so I tend to schedule things close together.

For example, I have three roofers to come by today for a roof leak estimate.  One at 11:30, one at 12:30-1:30, and one between 1-4.  Most likely no overlapping, and a termite guy in between there, and I will just do some needed repair while I am there.

but then one guy is running late, one will come earlier and I suddenly have three roofers showing up within a 90 minute window and this could be awkward.

do you try to spread them out or do you not mind them showing up at the same time even though everyone knows you are getting multiple bids?
