Sounds like they materially breached and you dont owe them anything. If you want to give my office a call, I can send them a buzz off letter.

In the event of a lawsuit against you regarding payment, it is the contractor's burden to prove therein that he was licensed during the entirety of the project, including the bid. You can ask for an evidentiary hearing at the beginning of trial to determine whether he can meet the above burden of proof, by producing at least a certified copy of his licensing history during the entirety of the project, including the bid. If the contractor does not meet this burden, he is barred any remedy against you.
