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.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

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.
