Legal Question in Construction Law in Georgia

Poor quality

We are having a porch built. The concrete contractor is on the 8th week of a one week job. The work that he has done to this point is terrible. The concrete has several large cracks in it and they just poured it two weeks ago. It also is extremely uneven and discollored. The stuco also has cracks in it. We have already paid this guy half of what the job costs and it will take more than that to fix the errors. What are our options at this point?

Re: Poor quality

You fail to discuss the contractor's response when you discussed the matter with him/her, pointed out your concerns, and discussed a resolution. If you have not done so, that is the first option. If you have, the contractor's rsponse would be relevant to other responses you may receive here.

Re: Poor quality

Employ a licensed inspector to determine how the work is defective and what measures will make the work acceptable. Discuss the inspector's report with the contactor to determine whether he will resolve the problem. If you cannot reach an agreement then you will probably need to discuss your legal options with an attorney.
