Q: I made 10% down payment cash and signed contract. The contractor is forcing me to pay all 100% before installation
I made 10% down payment via check for solar panel installation and signed contract. The company is forcing me to pay the remaining 90% before installation begins or else they won't install. There is nothing in the contract as to when final payment is due other than same day. I thought that meant I would pay immediately after work was completed, not as soon as they showed up at my house before doing any work. They are threatening a penalty if I don't pay before, because the crew would lose out on the job and it was scheduled.
A: Perhaps you should have a a lawyer rev new the contract you signed?
