There is can be no other place like your sweet home- whether it is small or big. And regardless of size, people always want their homes to appear wonderful. Therefore, get on the stick with taking up home improvement projects. No slackers allowed.
Whether your improvements include simply adding a new addition or new things to your home or renovating it, you can change roofing, flooring, siding, repairing windows, painting, improve the backyard and much more. However, note that the success level of your home improvement project will depend on the person at the head of the project, your home improvement contractor.
Home improvement contractors are in charge of scheduling, coordinating, planning and activating plans to provide the results you want in a timely and efficient manner. You can find good home improvement contractors via online sites or home improvement centers. And selecting good and affordable home improvement contractors is essential.
Some homeowners choose to handle project themselves, however choosing to hire a contractor can be a wise thing to do since they have expertise on how to handle these projects properly.
Note these other points about home improvement contractors:
1) There are numerous jobs like landscaping, tile setting, swimming pool construction and more covered under the blanket of home improvement. However, for each job, there are different kinds of home improvement contractors that you can hire. So do your homework.
2) Home improvement contractors first need to understand the requirements of your house. Then they should try to know the factors involving the home improvement like why home owners need to improve house or garden. Then according to your budget, they should prepare the quotation and only after the approval, can they start working on your home improvement project.
3) When hiring home improvement contractors, one must shortlist a few contractors before hiring the best of them. Consider those home improvement contractors who have been recommended by friends, colleagues or anyone you know well. Hiring a contractor who has been recommended online is also a great option. Check out all references before hiring home improvement contractors. Hiring a contractor who has done similar jobs before is the best option.
4) Professional home improvement contractors should have everything written in their contracts before they begin. And both parties must sign this contract. So read the contract carefully and note that you must get answers for all the questions you have before you sign the contract.
5) Good home improvement contractors generally give out all the information about their suppliers and subcontractors. These are their support systems so homeowners can check with these supplier and subcontractors.
6) Homeowners should get estimates from at least three home improvement contractors. Good home improvement contractors will give homeowners plans and specification in writing.
7) A flat fee for home improvement project is often more cost effective than wasting time and materials. Home improvement contractors should list all details about materials, paint colors by brand, appliance make and model and warranties.
A good home improvement contractor should be able to follow up with your project from start to finish and deliver results in given time period. Home improvement centers, online sites and neighbors are all good places to start your search for home improvement contractors. Homeowners can also refer to yellow pages and other forms of advertisements.

I have had the EXACT same problem! It is sooooo frustrating. I can only guess that it's because there is so much work out there, and if they feel like the job is going to be small, or if a bigger job comes along, they don't want to waste their time.
As a contractor, I try to give my customers a quality job at a competitive price. When they want to cut the price, I typically ask them what portion of the requested work that they want to delete from the bid. I don't try to provide the cheapest price because that entails using the cheapest craftsmen, and the cheapest craftsmen are cheap for a reason. So, no, I don't really negotiate my prices and don't spend much time with them if I sense that type of attitude. There's too much work out there to waste my time being unrealistic.

No matter HOW NICE he seems.
Of course if he is contractually obligated to finish the job – but Now YOU have got to compel him to do it. (and you've lost hour hammer)
(no pun on the contracting thing)
It will probably be cost effective to hire someone to finish the job… and consider this a lesson learned.
I assume you've called him to ask "what's up"? And I also assume he's UNAVAILABLE, right?
Better you must have sufficient work experience
in technical skills like carpetory,drughtsmanship,
electrical,electronics,mechanical and civil etc.you
can pass easily.

Check your local paper!
They're seldom prepared for anything.
They usually have an unreasonably low budget, don't appreciate all that needs to be done, and expect that you've got nothing else to do but their job.
It helps to be extremely patient, teach them a little about the entire process, and exercise empathy when they exhibit "sticker shock."
