Small Claims - Bad Contractor
Hello
We hired a contractor to do 2 bathrooms and pot lights in the hallway. He gave us a written estimate but no contract was signed. We had a verbal agreement on the price and scope of work.
He was let go half way through the job for poor workmanship, refusing to redo stuff and lieing about what could or could not be done to cut corners.
We paid him 20% at the start but he is stating he is entitled to 70%. He was advised that once we got estimates for stuff that needed to be redone and all the materials we paid for (which he said we're included) we would pay the difference.
He delivered plaintiff's claim today. Just wondering if someone had any experience with the process and can give any advice.
Thank You
