On April 2019 my company, Granados Handyman and Construction LLC, began work at Iglesia Santidad Jesus Viene Pronto under a contract signed by Pastor Felix. The contract required several down payments to made throughout the course of the work. As the work progressed we had only received portions of the amounts that were due. There were several changes of order throughout the course of the which inevitably surpassed the original budget set in the contract. The pandemic ended all work for the time being and money was still owed. Throughout that time and after we had not heard back from the church to address their outstanding balance. We reached out once again in an attempt to solve this issue within ourselves and agreed to have a sit-down meeting to review all invoices that had been provided to them. Part of the outstanding balance had been paid in cash that day, but the remainder had been held back until we agreed to continue working. As we continued working, there were no attempts to pay the money owed. We later requested that payment of all the money due up to date to be made in order to proceed with the work. Later, we came to find out that work continued at the building under our company’s building permit without any supervision or approval from me putting my license at stake. We were left with no option but pull my license and inform the Lynn City Hall that we were no longer performing any work at that location. As time went on, we still had not received any further payments for the work completed at the building for more than a year. Until this date a total of $14,000 is still owed by the church....Read More

Our contractor did a lump-sum bid on retiling the shower (76 square feet) that is in our walk-out basement. We said we would buy all material, but not tools. Basically, he bid on his labor cost, The contractor is installing new DryBoard/ tile shower back board. When removing the tiles on two of the walls, he found that the walls were cement block. He spent quite a bit of time removing the tiles on those two walls, and then getting the new dry board to lay flat on the cement block. Should he expect more money from us to cover this unforeseen aspect? I know for sure that he is a beginning contractor, but his price was very competitive with an established contractor; there was only a $200 difference between the two. I'm wondering if the established, more experienced contractor would have asked us for more money, or if because of his experience, would not have let the cement walls delay him. Is this just part of the "risk" when bidding by lump-sum and just part of the learning process for the newer contractor? I need some advice on how to proceed, but really, how to feel about the pricing: do I compensate him for his extra time?...Read More
