  We had several bids for a big backyard project. Hutch's hourly prices were higher, but he said he could have two guys do the project in 1 1/2 days compared to the two guys for 4 to 5 days the other bidders were projecting. We were on a time crunch so we asked Hutch to do the work. We had to wait about two weeks, but Hutch seemed like an amiable guy so we decided to take the gamble. (We are not great gamblers as it turns out). With some prodding as to a start date, Hutch showed up with --- one guy-- Jacob. (We were under the impression that Hutch was the second guy--nope, he is just the owner). Jacob did amazing work and we were indeed quite impressed. However, after 5 hours, there was not even a dent in the needed clean up and it was clear to us that this was not going to be 1 1/2 days as Hutch indicated. Hutch still insisted that the job was going to be 1 1/2 days and said that maybe he should find another person to work with Jacob. (Remember, he initially said he was going to have two guys at 1 1/2 days). Lo and behold, Murphy's law took over. Again after more prodding, Hutch told us that his one worker, Jacob, was ill from overwork the previous day. Hutch was very brisk claiming that the work was still within the budget and felt that the time that he quoted was not essential. Then as an afterthought, he said, "Sorry for any inconvenience." But, even though our gut reaction was to terminate our work with Hutch right there and then, we really liked the work Jacob did so we agreed to wait until the following Monday. On Monday morning after a few calls and text to Hutch, since we did not hear from him as to whether he was going to show up or not to continue the work, we were told Jacob was still ill. So our promised 1 1/2 days of work was now not going to happen and our yard is now not prepped for our other upcoming work. So we are back to the drawing board to quickly try to find another more reliable contractor. Will never hire Hutch again.
