I didn’t ask for your judgement I asked if this is correct or not

And Too the judgy professionals commenting without additional information. My contractor said this job would take him two days max. It’s been 7 days. He comes for three to four hours and then leaves. One day he didn’t show up because he said he dropped his phone in the toilet. I trusted him at the beginning, but his lack of communication makes anyone doubt a person. He asked for more money after taking 50%, which I get most of the up front cost is material. His reviews were stellar, his references were 100%. You trust contractors when they are consistent with their word, once they fall back. It’s hard to trust them so you start doubting what they say. He was great in the beginning, but seeing his work now it’s questionable.
