Contractor did a patio job for me. As job progressed I e-mailed him reminding him to make sure the steps complied with building codes. I did not want a problem later selling the home or a lawsuit if someone tripped etc. They finished the work and I hired a certified inspector to inspect my steps. The steps do not meet the building code. I sent a copy of the report to the contractor and asked he re-do the steps to meet code. he declined and said he would cut the amount owed by $800.00 I agreed and paid him a check stating in the memo Patio Paid in Full. Now a few weeks later the contractor wants the rest of the money ($800.00). Threatened with lawyer.
