A general contractor I hired walked away after collecting 80% and also destroying my house and new building material. Fixed bid Contract - $30,000 Payment collected - $23000 It is now costing me $60000 extra for same work. He has also filed a mechanics lien for $56000 as he knew that I will be refinancing hard money loan to conventional loan. Because of him I have no option to continue with hard money lender. What should I do? I never received any notice and only came to know about this during refinancing I have signed contract, picture proof and proof of payments.
You should meet with a construction attorney and discuss your options. That is the only way you are going to figure out the best way to proceed.
