Hi,
I am almost new to Tree Service. I started doing trees for about 1.5 years. This year I faced something that I really never expected to happen. I went to give an estimate for one tree to be cut down and bunch of other trees to be trimmed. This happened this year i the middle of May. When I told the owner what the price is he told me that he is just getting estimates at that time. All he asked me is to sign my estimate which I did but he never signed it to make a contact.
Now after 6 months he called me one day and told me to come and do the job and he told me that he refused to have a deal with other tree companies. Now I do not want to do the job because its too far. An hour driving maybe even more and its waste of time because the price that I gave was too cheap. My price was about 800 and the job is worth at least 1,600-1,800 .
This guy now keeps on calling me from a private number and tells me that I must do the job. He even left me some voice mails that attacked me and my company.
2 days ago I accedently answered his call because a private number called me but it was a lady. When I answered she told me her name and told me to wait for a second and all of a sudden it was a guy on other line. He told me the lady is from a state or something with a law and that they are recording me. He and her are making me to do this job which I dont want to do because contract was never made. He didnt even ask me at the time of estimate for a expiration. My estimate expired because its valid for just 3 months but the problem is that it is not written on estimate...
What is this guy trying to do and what he and that lady can do bad to me and my company. Please help me
