If you have paid in full as specified in a contract but no longer want the contractor to complete the work (e.g., the work is 85-90% complete on a masonry deck demolition and rebuild), can I execute a formal termination of the services? For example, I want to bring in another contractor to complete the job and be done with current contractor due to missed deadlines and not consistently showing up. The job started in November 2019 and was supposed to take 3 weeks (although this timeline is not specifically in the contract). Now, more than 4 months later, the job is still incomplete and the communication has mostly stopped. At this point I have paid 90% of the work (and have a record via cashed checks). The problem I can’t get the contractor to finish, so I want to move on to have the job completed.
