Is it ok to request a quote for a job when you've earlier declined their quote for different job?
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.40 PM
About 3 years ago I had a few quotes for a garage conversion. It was literally a toss-up between two companies regarding whom I chose. I now want a kitchen refurb and a local guy who specialises in them/has good reputation is the guy who quoted and I declined for my garage conversion. Is it ok to approach him to quote for new job or, already having had a quote rejected, is he likely to turn down request? How would you feel?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Don't worry it's fine. Work is work and we, as tradesman, can't win all the jobs.
It's what keeps us alert.
Good luck

If it is a reputable company company then I can not see there being any issue with giving you a quotation especially if you tell the company that they only just missed out last time

I had a job turned down recently
For a lady I had already done work for
I think she thought I was dearer than another quote she revived
I saw her husband a couple of weeks later in my builders merchants and I am now going back to complete the job as they were not at all happy with the new guys
Work.
It’s all part of the territory
If you approach the guy and he is off with you then i would givevhim a swerve obviously
Hasn’t got a professional attitude.
