Q: Can I sue my contractor for poor work after mutually terminating relationship? He refused to finish or fix shoddy work.
Contractor performed stunningly bad work in my 1200 sq ft condo gut job. He did not complete a second bathroom but charged for it. He used the wrong glue, no nails or screws for base moldings and door casings which are now separating from walls.He knowingly installed damaged cabinets, charged me to install and uninstall. He charged for extreme paint prep/mesh but walls still look terrible. He left an electric panel with live conductors hanging out dangerously exposed/uncovered in a front hallway. Sockets with no covers everywhere. One bathroom is tiled so badly, the tiles are cracked and uneven.He was able to install a vinyl floor but cut it badly around doorways so there are big gaps that to not meet the moldings. These boards need to be replaced. He refused to fix anything and contract date of July 12 was not met. After almost 2 months of no work, In Oct I fired him,he demanded it be mutual. I sent a refund demand letter, he refused. I hired a new contractor.The whole job is a redo.
A: This seems to have nothing to do with immigration. You ought to Re-categorize it.
