Legal Question in Construction Law in Louisiana

My husband and I completely renovated our home last year. We have a one year contract with our general contractor to come in and fix any issues/problems with construction. The downstairs floor was stained and sealed concrete and started peeling off, exposing cement. Other issues were minor cracks, leaks, etc. The contractor bought and paid for new floor material (tile) and the repairs started Monday, September 8th. I cant not be around the construction dust or material, since i am on bed-rest due to high risk pregnancy. Meanwhile we have to stay at Residence Inn with two of our dogs for and estimated 10 day period. My question is - is my contractor financially responsible for our hotel accommodations?

Thank you.

You could make that argument and the ultimate answer depends on what the contract between you and the contractor says. However, I think you'll probably lose that battle.
