If the contractor cashed the check, it doesn't do any good to cancel it. You'd have to go back to court to sue him for the refund. If he hasn't cashed the check, you can put a stop payment on it. A contractor must perform within the time set forth in the contract or if not stated, within a reasonable time. Six months doesn't seem reasonable. It wasn't such a good idea to give him so much money up front.
