Tips to Follow

Send an Email

It’s not easy to reject a contractor, especially in person or on a phone call. You and the remodeling company can avoid being put in an awkward situation if you turn them down through an email. It may also be easier to convey your message fully through email.

Tell Them That You Appreciate Their Effort

Sometimes, it can take a contractor hours to create a detailed kitchen quote. Don’t forget to thank them for their time in your email. You might not have chosen them for your project, but it shows that you appreciate their effort.

Be Honest

Besides thanking the contractor, you should also give them honest feedback. Tell them the reason you are not working with them for your project. Doing so will keep the discussion objective.

Keep Things Light

You want to keep things light as much as possible. Praise their experience, reputation or other qualities that made you consider them in the first place. Emphasize that there is nothing personal about your decision and it’s purely business.

Stay Open to Possibilities

Aside from your kitchen, are there other parts of your home that you want to give a makeover in the future? Stay open to the possibility of hiring them for your next remodeling project! They could be the ideal company for a home addition or bathroom remodel.
