This morning, I told our situation to a neighbor. She recommended Contractor B. He came, gave us estimate and said he could start next week. He seems to be very good. We now want to use B, especially he can start much earlier than A.
We called A tonight. At first he said the wait is still the same. We told him we couldn’t wait for 4-6 weeks forever and we wanted to cancel the contract. He became very annoyed. He said we can’t do that. He denied that he said we could cancel the contract anytime.
My question is that can we cancel the contract? My neighbor thinks the contract is invalid because there is no estimated or committed start date from the contractor. If we can’t cancel the contract, then we are screwed (excuse my language). Please advice. Thanks a million!
