How do you get your money back from a contractor you want to fire?
I am considering firing the contractor that is putting on an addtion on my house. The claimed when they took the first half of the money back in December that the job would start in early spring and be finished in time for labor day. They didn't start until the last day of spring, took them two weeks to do the foundation, the framers where supposed to start yesterday and now they say they aren't starting until Monday. THen the company gets all defensive and hurt when I complain. THey obviously overbooked themselves and my small job is getting treated like piecework, while other jobs they do are getting done. I know I should have put time conditions in the contract, but I didn't. Now I want them gone and another company to actually do the job.
Answer:
That's a hard one, once they have your money you are almost at their mercy. I know this advice is to late, but next time pay them as the work gets done, pay them in stages as the work gets done. See if the state you live in has any type of better business complaint office.
He should be licensed in your state ( if he is doing work there)
Your city may have this info in occupational licensing . There you can find out on filing a complaint against a contractor and they will investigate the matter.
Be sure to provide some pics an contracts to support your case.
welcome to the world of contractors...they all are like that...if the work is good I'd put up with delays, if the work is shoddy dump them asap.
