Legal Question in Construction Law in Massachusetts
Bad Contractor
We hired a contractor to do work on
our house. Total cost would have
been 18K, we put 9k down for
building materials etc on 5/24/08
with plans to start the last week of
May. He finally showed 3 weeks later
after we place many calls with only
half the materials. He worked 1 full
day, then an hour or so the next day.
After the 1 day of work he asked for
the next 4500 that he is owed
claiming the roof was completed as
stated in the contract. We refused to
give it to him stating the roof was
not complete as ''roof'' also included
the roof of the farmers porch he was
to build but has not. He did provide
us with a contract, although only he
signed it we did not. We no longer
want him working on the house, as
we have discovered he is a history of
taking down payments and not
finishing the work but would like to
eventually get some of the 9k back
less any expenses including the 12
hours or so of work completed.
