Hello,

I recently finished my basement and had received several quotes. One of the contractors (let's call him Contractor A) that did a bid for me had really great referrals and was very professional. Ultimately I decided to go with someone else (contractor B) because it was more within my budget and he was able to start on the job sooner. Contractor B ended up doing an okay job but I wouldn't hire him again.

In the next year or so, I would like to renovate my bathroom and I would like to ask the contractor A to come back and bid on this new project. Do you think this is an okay thing to do or did I burn that bridge by not hiring him the first time? He did reach out to follow up after the bid and I told him I went with someone else.

Appreciate your feedback/experience on this subject.
