Re: home construction

You don't say, but I assume the project is not completed. Is it even started? Does he have a contractor's license? Check with the state contractor's license board. If yes, file a complaint with his license bond. If no, talk with your local police department/district attorney. Can you put a stop payment on the check???

Good Luck

If the work is done, and he hasn't been paid, don't worry, he'll bill you. Then you can resolve any disputes.
