Any remedy fro wrong size doors and windows?

CaliforniaConstruction Contract

I had French doors and side windows installed on my house. The doors are too short. I had multiple conversations of what was to be done and what was installed is not what we talked about. There are measurements in the contract. For example I had 80" doors. I was replacing those doors. The contractor pit 79.5 door height in the contract. The doors installed are 79.5" with the framing, not the size of the door so now the doors are 76" - they are too short. Anything I can do here. I did tell him when installing to stop these are too short and he pleaded with me to let him get them in and see if it works. I did and they don't. Any remedy here?

There are some right to repair statutes that might give the contractor a chance to come back. Otherwise, you're probably looking at a breach of contract type action about the doors not fitting.
