My contractor did not finish the job he was hired for. He continued adding more to the project and we ended up paying over $20,000 out of our pocket to keep up with the work he was doing. Finally after we were over $20,000 the amount of of the contract we had to ask him to just finish what we hired him for because we had cleared out our savings.
When we told him he left the job taking all of the materials and expensive equipment that we bought for the job.
After he subtracted our materials and equipment from a spread sheet that he put together he still felled to subtract all the materials/equipment that he had us purchase from the spreadsheet.
Once he did the balance according to him was $6,900 that we would need to pay him just to get our stuff back. Finally we offered the $6,900 to him he has never responded.
We still can’t live in our house because it’s not safe or finished.
Thanks to our children we have had a place to stay or we would have been homeless.
My husband has lived in our house for over 50 years, works a full time job and he and my children were still over there everyday helping his crew.
We are heartbroken and could be bankrupt and that’s not the way we live.
We pay our bills and his $75,000 contract has cost us nearly $30,000 dollars and we don’t have the money to finish our home.
There has never been a mortgage or any leans since the home was bought in 1969 by my husband’s parents. It was deeded to my husband in 1985 by my in-laws and we took out the first Mortgage in November of 2021.
I have been told that filing a lawsuit won’t help us because he owns nothing and he can just change his LLC and continue with his work?
I do have a copy of his insurance/bond can you help me?
Thank you

Washington DCFiled a Bond Claim on a General Contractor for a public project. We supplied materials for an upgrade to a Waste Water Treatment Plant in Minnesota. The initial Bond Claim was filed on February 2021. The General Contractor made a payment and agreed to pay the balance. Therefore, we filed a Cancellation of Bond Claim. The Cancellation reserved the right to pursue collection of the remaining balance. The General Contractor still owes us money for the project and we need to file on their bond for the balance. What is the process to re-file on their bond?

CaliforniaI'm was consulting on a New York public project (Ernst and Young) and I filed a mechanics lien after a year I got a letter stating that my lien was to expire so I filed for an extension during that period I got a letter from the bonding company about my lien can I still file a bond lien . I received the notice from the surety company in Dec. of 2021. The original lien was first filed in Sept. 2020. an extension was filed on Dec.28 2021 only to find out that I filed the wrong lien.
