Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

I was not satisfied with the quality of the installation of carpeting in my home and withheld payment from the company pending a rework of the job. The company has not responded to my complaint saying they found nothing wrong with the installation. After 6 weeks I had the carpet inspected by another company and had them fix the carpet. I sent numerous letter to the first company asking them to fix it with little response. I am now being sued by the first company for the remainder of the contract due saying I owe them the full amount of the contract plus legal fees they have incurred for having to pursue me for the amount due. What can I do to prepare a defense for what I consider incomplete work of poor quality?
