I hired an electrician for the completion of the electrical work on my home. I paid $3900 out of a total of $5400. Some extra work has come up due to rats chewing a wire and finding one that needs to be reattached to the panel. He also said he'd give me credit for my power pole that he took to another job. My contract expired at the end of last year, but I've struggled getting other things done, finding decent contractors, etc. so things got behind. He's done work since the expiration and had no problem taking my power pole only a couple months ago. Now I can't get him to come out to do any more work and drywall is about to start. Can I find someone else and take this guy to court? He also told me he wants more money as well bc costs have gone up. What can I do bc he's holding up my progress? TY!...Read More

if a subcontractor spent 2 hours to dig a 10ft long x 5 ft wide x 6 ft deep pit and put a concrete box into that pit. then three months later, he asked $2,000 for this job. He used my excavator at site. We said it is too high, $1000 is okay for this two hour job. Normally, it is a small job, we thought it is free, we paid him $420,000 for other jobs in the same project. But now he is not happy because we are not angry with his performance, too many mistakes, have to redo lots of thing, wasted too money. So plan not to use him for any future job. So he is trying to make trouble. threating to put a lien. does he have a right to decide the money amount for any job? he never mentioned, and suddenly asked. Regards,...Read More

I paid a deposit to my sub-contractor who was supposed to start construction early this year. The project got delayed and it was agreed that he will refund me the deposit until the project kick starts again. 3 months later he still hasn't made the refund and keeps making promises. Is there anything I can do to force the refund since he agreed to pay it back and no service at all was delivered?...Read More

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 Dana Compton Hake and Kenneth Ray Hake...Read More
