SOUTHERN TEXTURES

My neighborhood association asked to get a bid from David Linette and his company, Southern Textures, on repairing some of our sidewalks. The sidewalk was painted, and the paint was going to have to be removed in order to do the work. However, the first quote we received simply neglected to include the extra cost of removing the paint. The second quote adding in this cost was a little confusing, so I asked if Mr. Linette could meet me on site just to make sure that we had the same scope of work in mind. We schedule a day and time to meet. On the day of our meeting, after about 15 minutes had passed from the time that he and I had scheduled to meet, I telephoned Mr. Linette and he said that he had gone to the wrong place. Inexplicably, Mr. Linette had gone to the office location for the management company hired by my neighborhood association, which is about a 20-25 minute drive away. I said that I could not wait any longer that particular day and that we would have to reschedule. instead of simply rescheduling, he became angry and very hostile over the telephone and said that he didn't want to do business with us (I don't understand what he was talking about) and then hung up the phone. I called back to try to explain that I was merely a representative of the neighborhood association, and that if there had been some confusion with management company, then I wanted to apologize. I was never able to even get those words out of my mouth, because Mr. Linette was too busy yelling, and then he hung up the telephone. It was horribly inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. I would not recommend doing business with anyone capable of acting that childishly over something so small.
