I am the owner and I hired a GC. We opened in Dec 2021. A contractor filed a lawsuit for the remaining balance. He didn't finish the project and walked off completing 85%. Also ran a sky track over the pool deck and caused 18k over in damages along with the remaining work that had to be immobilization and completed of 22k. Is retainage due if the sub-contractor walked off the job?
Depends.
Did it cost more to complete than the about not paid to the original GC?
