Do I have right to retain a percentage of final payment as leverage to get botched jobs on new private construction?

ArkansasRetainage

Hi, my contractor has made multiple mistakes while constructing my house and many of these still are not corrected. I have been paying biweekly draw and down and nearing the end of construction. I really feel that a portion of should be retained until he corrects some major problems. What rights do I have to retain some payment or do I need a lawyer? I am paying with my own assets so I do not have a loan company to help with this. Thanks Cathy Zehnder
