Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Satisfied Contract

Recently I had some Brickwork done for and agreed to contracted price of 6,850 dollars. After the job was complete and the contractor accepted the payments, he called and said that he did more work than he figured for in the contract. He claims that we never discused the qork that was done. While I disagreed with him and stated that everything he did was represented in the contract, he insists that his brother the foremen did not have any knowledge of what he and I discussed and just did the work based on my say so. I find that hard to beleive considering that they have been in buiness for 25-30 years. The contract was signed by both of us and he is now asking me to do the right thing and fork over more money. What is makes me angry is that everything they did for me is listed in the contract, including a modification to install 2 retaining walls on either side of my driveway and a 3ft wide path. Does he have any legal ground here? The contract has been satisfied and nothing was said about a possible discrepancy until after they were off the job and all payments had been accepted. He has now escalated the situation by attacking my character and relentlessly calling me day and night.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated
