One more phone call to voicemail, but this time tell him that you require call back confirmation otherwise a "no show" fee will be charged upon arrival.

It is a PM, trust me, he is getting those messages....probably still pricing the job with you as the Alamo card if he can't find cheaper.

Make him confirm or risk losing more money and he WILL call you back in less than 30 seconds.

It's tough Isn't it ? I had bad experience with not showing up because of unconfirmed phone calls so I usually will show up but in a couple of cases it bit me in my are because they didn't show up, in my case that's small price to pay compare to a bad review online of not showing up to your appointment, gosh I hate that rule "customer is always right" Razz

The old PM brush off....classic.

He found someone cheaper and gave you the delay drop just in case his cheapo cleaner fails to get it done. If he calls next week, he is desperate, so double your price.
