Not unusual actually when the customer is slow on making the final payment. They many times have gripes about the work or materials and once you sue
for payment they countersue to get leverage. You should be very mindful of your time to answer the countersuit. It could be as little as 20 days from
service.

Wisconsin has very consumer friendly rules as to dealings with home improvement contractors including requiring a written contract. If he/she sues or puts a
construction lien on your property you likely have recourse against the contractor.

A change order is not required but probably a good idea. The question is whether there is a legit agreement or contract between the parties for the extras.
You can have an oral contract or written contract for extras. A written contract whether it's called change order or otherwise is going to be easier to enforce.

I agree it doesn't sound right. All things being equal, he led you to believe the same sq foot price would be used (or even possibly less since you were
throwing more work his way).

If you haven't retained counsel yet you should very soon. Depending on the nature of the suit, you may have as little as 20 days to answer the countersuit
from when you were sued.
