Legal Question in Construction Law in Georgia
Remodeling Contract
I signed a contract & gave a deposit via credit card on Friday...but decided that the price was way to high for the service and called the contractor to cancel or resend the contract. He feels I should not be able to cancel. Do I have the right to resend a contract where not services or materials have been purchased or rendered? I want to be fair but after further investigation and talking to several other contractors about the samer job they were over charging me thousands of dollars.

Re: Remodeling Contract
Generally, there is no right to rescind a contract within a certain period or for the reason stated in your post. Whether or not materials have been purchased is not relevant to your right to cancel the contract.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.
Re: Remodeling Contract
Contracts are generally valid the second they are signed, and hen the provisions of the contract control as far as cancellation, etc. "Fair" is not an issue - complying with contractual obligations is the issue.
