Contractor explained workers were at the wrong house. It was a mistake. I’ve given four months of opportunity for them to replace the porch as it was and they stayed there done but the porch is not as it was due. I have to pay them.

You would need to speak with an attorney about the specifics of your case to see if that is your best course... Read more »
