Contractor disappeared, do I still owe them?

New YorkPayment Disputes

I hired a construction company to complete a job for me. They gave me an estimate and I signed the contract. After they completed, I discovered the job was incorrect and negotiated for them to leave that the way it was and do another job on the property for an adjusted amount. This new adjusted amount was never put in writing. They never came back to complete the job. I made multiple attempts to contact them with no luck. It has been almost a year and have not heard from them at all. I haven’t paid them any money and they haven’t asked. At this point I don’t even want them to finish but not sure what will happen if I get someone else to come in and finish. At what point do I no longer have to worry about them trying to collect?
