If it has been less than 20 days since you completed the project then you can file a preliminary mechanic's lien notice. This will let you file a lien if you are not paid for only the work you performed in the past 20 days and any work moving forward. You can also file suit for breach of contract. Of course all the above assumes you hold the required license if any. Otherwise you recover nothing.
