Q: I have a contractor who refuses to install multiple items in accordance with standard practice. What recourse have I?
Biggest items are:
i) roofing metals not installed with solid sheeting for an insulated space;
ii) grinder pump not installed with required access and backfilled with rocks; and
iii) siding installed nailed to the external ply.
A:
Refuse to accept the non-conforming work
Give the contractor notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure
Hire another contractor to perform or complete the work
Deduct your cost of the new contractor from the price you agreed to pay the original contractor
