I doubt he will go out of business because you won't call him back because he can't do your job. As a contractor myself making it unscathed thru the great recession I understand completely why we turn down jobs. I try my absolute best to take care of my past customers but I along with others cannot presently take on every job that comes our way these days. Too much work and to little help. Your going to have to wait or move on to someone else. It's not like we don't want to help you it's just sometimes we can't. No need to be upset with them it's just how busy things are right now.
I just recently had a past customer that I did work for the past 10 years call another builder friend of mine (I'm pretty sure he didn't realize we are good buddies) for a home remodel. I am pretty sure it was because I was too busy to do some work at his dad's house last year as he was always happy with the work that was done at his home. Yes it kind of sucks but what else can we do.
