My General contractor has barely done any work in 8 months and no work at all in the last month.

Missouri

I am a homeowner who made their first payment for a full basement remodel and new garage to the Hilikar Company on 1/27/2022 and to date, the only things they have done is some of the demo work. He wont commit to any dates and makes promises he doesn't keep. He doesn't return calls and texts. He doesn't show up when he says he will. We are afraid he will never move forward with our project and he has 50% of our payment. what recourse do we have?

I suggest you have an attorney review the contact and start with a letter seeking the resolution you desire. The next step may be filing a lawsuit but there will be many factors to consider, includiong whether the contract has a binding arbitration provision that would prohibit court litigation. The contract might also have an attorney's fee provision.
