PennsylvaniaLawsuit

Essential Home Improvement,LLC PO BOX 454, Mount Pocono, PA, Residential lawsuit The following is a letter sent to the plaintiffs lawyer and gives my overview of the situation: I have received your clients claims and request for a refund of four-thousand three-hundred seventy-five dollars ($4,375). I have contacted your office multiple times to discuss this matter and have not received a response. I do not agree with this claim for the reasons listed below. Your client breached the contract by adding additional work to the original scope of the project. Drywall in living room ceiling with a 16' peak. Drywall, tape, spackle, prime and paint the entire downstairs floor, two bedrooms upstairs; this was also completed on the living room ceiling. Your client imparted changes to the existing sliding door to be relocated. They also requested two rooms to be closed or altered. Your client also changed the original paint choice from non brand specific to semi custom paint; which resulted in approximately four- hundred dollars ($400) which they did not cover. In addition, my company fronted the installation of a new 50 gallon water heater at the cost of one-thousand two- hundred dollars ($1,200.00) which was to be refunded to me by your client. Your client requested electrical modifications for lighting and fixtures which are not included in the original scope of work which cost four-hundred thirty-seven dollars ($437.00) Your client fired me without warning, on the spot, and gave my less than 24 hours to clear the project site. This action negatively impacted my work flow, schedule and payments to workers. Your clients action also potentially cost me additional work and working partnerships as this was done in the presence of outside workers and an outside company. I'm willing to forgo legal proceedings if your client agrees to a settlement of two- thousand three-hundred thirty-eight dollars ($2,338.00). I would like to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I look forward to your reply. Essential Home Improvement, LLC. CORRECTION: 5 bedrooms + 2 lofts

I am not sure what you question is. However, my recommendation would be to file a mechanics' lien against the property for the balance that you are owed. I will give you more leverage in negotiation with owner's counsel.
