Your current state is Virginia
Is there a template or sample form of contract that contains all the necessary terms and provisions for a home improvement contract? My siding contractor (candidate) is a young guy, new to contracting, and I am not sure he knows everything that must go into the contract.
She has not paid me in full she has only paid me $409 of $2800. Do I have any hopes of getting compensation?
Contract states Final due on concrete Completion but we are getting paver coping instead of concrete. Still a huge piece of the project to be finished. Don’t feel it’s fair to give full payment with a large piece unfinished and unscheduled.
Contractually, you're likely obligated to make the payment. However, you may be able to renegotiate on your own or with the help of an attorney for different milestones and payments. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help if you decide to hire a lawyer. Good luck.
Can they climb scaffold, use power tools, mix concrete?
They will not take responsibility and continue to avoid the needed exterior repairs to fix the issues. ie bay widow , door frame and structural "sill plate" cold air leaks. Flir infrared imagery was performed by a contractor that clearly show defects, yet the HOA continues to abuse their... Read more »
I had a contract with a home builder to build a house but things went bad. I asked to walk away and the builder agreed to terminate the contract in exchange for some money which I paid. We didn’t use a attorney but wrote up a simple agreement and signed it. Am I clear of the builder’s contract now?
Depends on what you signed. The concept that a handwritten amendment can modify a preprinted form is true.

For you to get anywhere you want to be, you are going to need an attorney. Mention the term "Materialman's Lien."

There is not one. The limitation is in reference to a public or private school, so unless this baseball field is on school property, then there is no restriction currently.
Trying Two Own
The contract states. He says it was seeded but me or my realtor do not see it was done. The stairs were not properly stained. How can I sue him. It took him 13 months to finish our build.
Without reading the contract, I cannot give you specific advice, but it does sound like you have a case, call a local lawyer and see if you can set up a consultation.
He was hired to completely finish the deck the first time. He said it needs to be stained again and he’ll come back next summer for more money to do it. I refused and stated we had an agreement to finish it the first time. I refused to pay and now he is threatening to place a lien on my property.... Read more »

Contractor says I need to file a lien on the homeowner but I’m not sure who is responsible when generally I’d be paid by the contractor.
Dear Unpaid Subcontractor: Your options for getting paid are two-fold: (A) a breach of contract claim against the General Contractor and/or (B) a mechanic's lien processing against the Homeowner. Clearly, you are not "required" to pursue the Homeowner (as intimated by the GC)... Read more »
