Difficulties Selecting Contractors

Jacky Johnson
Posted

I'm in the process of getting a few free estimates from multiple licensed plumbers for a sewage leak under the house. The issue is that there is a contractor who is thorough on-site but lack follow-up communication after they quoting me a price and left, a contractor who didn't even go inside the house to do inspection but rely on pictures and videos from other contractors to quote me a price but responsive via text after they left the site, and those who didn't even come on-site and ask me to describe the situation through the phone and give me a quote there. Which contractors should I hire if the quotes are similar in price? I'm not sure if sometimes I'm a bit longwinded via text (maybe that's why some of them don't respond to my text) but I just wanted to clarify more but at the same time I want to fix the sewage leak asap. What should I do?
