Report them to the Contractors State License Board whether they are licensed or not. If they ARE licensed, make a claim against their contractor's license bond. If not, file a small claims court case against them.
And in the future NEVER give any kind of home improvement contractor more than 10% or $500, whichever is less as a down payment. Anything more than that is illegal.
