Default Concrete contractors

We must have a severe shortage of contractors in this area. I called for an estimate because our current contractor is playing hard to get. Of the four companies I called, all said they could quote but it would be a minimum of 6-8 weeks before they could schedule the job. I'm about ready to say screw it and have asphalt put back down, I can have that done by Friday.
Oh did I mention we have been waiting for 5 weeks already for this contractor who has not returned any calls. He was supposed to start the work last week but decided to take a family vacation. He was going to call us on Saturday, no call, suppose to start on Monday, no show. Called him today no return call yet. Glad we didn't put a deposit down, time to find another contractor and just wait for this one to show up and then tell him we changed out mind.
So tired of contractors in this area, we waited almost 6 weeks to get the roof on and barely had it done before the spring rains came in April.
Of course, we called three companies for quotes and only one showed up.
All of them were rated A+ by the BBB.
