Cabinet refinisher in Springfield Illinois. Started complaining about it's not showing up. The job consists of two bathroom vanities what laundry room vanity and kitchen cabinets. The only thing we have left there in the house is the kitchen cabinet frame all the doors and drawer fronts have been sprayed in my shop at a remote location. The customer doesn't get to witness the work we put in at the shop. My contract clearly states that there is no given sight time or shot time it varies for each job and we will not be held accountable for an 8 hour day in the home. My contract also talks about estimated time of completion may go longer and term of this agreement may be extended without consent of both parties. Also ...contract states that if client interrupts our services and doesn't allow us to complete....that they are still liable for remainder of the amount of the contract. In this case its approx 1650. She showed up today beating on our shop doors and windows demanding we give her back her cabinet doors and drawer fronts. I told her no. She said then I'll call the cops...I ssif go ahead I have your agreement and permissive signature right here alone GB me to my work and finish my work. 1. Can she have me arrested? 2. Can I place lein on either cabinets, her house, or both? 3. Can I go after full amount if I give her the stuff back unfinished.
