The home owner is being the General Contractor for a swimming pool their put in and hired me as subcontractor to install the pool. Our contract states that I am not a general contractor and anything over 30k the homeowner becomes general contractor and subs work out to me. But now the homeowner saying that wasn't the case and not paying me the final payment because I'm not a general contractor and wasn't supposed to take on the job since it was over 30k. Since I have a signed contract stating that under 87.1(b) he was the GC and sub contracting the work out to me that was broke up into 4 phases & payments and after each phase could hire another company to complete that phase or continue using me. As well as he was responsible for pulling permits, hiring a licensed electrician to do the electrical, and have the fencing done to code and regulations. What can I do about this situation? I filed a mechanics lien on the home and that's when ge turned around and claimed I lied to them and told them i was a general contractor and now taking me to court for doing work over 30k. I need legal advice badly because I was under the assumption I was doing everything the legal way and as of now its his word against mine yet I have a signed contract and he has an estimate that claiming is the contract...Read More
