Incredibly rude and unprofessional! Called for estimate and to schedule bathtub lining/refinishing. Appointment was for 7:00 PM and I arrived at 6:45 PM.
I was to meet the estimator at a rental property and when I approached from the side street corner, one house away, I could already smell the very offensive cigar smoke and see that he had parked on the sidewalk blocking both a very highly used sidewalk and bike lane on a major street. Parking on the street is clearly marked illegal and with heavy traffic endangers everyone. When I approached the car, the smoke was overwhelming. He made some comment about waiting, (I was 15 minutes early) and there wasn't any place to park. Well, the block is only 5 houses long and plenty of parking on either side street or across the street on the side street. Residents and service people have been managing since the homes were built in the 1940's. There was no way I was going to talk to, stand by, or let someone so rude and smelling so offensively in any property of mine nor trust someone so unprofessional making such poor decisions with a job. I wouldn't have even taken a smelly card if he had offered. I left. Yes, I should have taken photos but I am a half a generation away from that being my first thought. And, now, I have to find someone else, make another appointment and give notice to my lovely tenants and start over. Still angry!
