Re: Contract signed for a garage

Both you and the contractor are bound by the agreement. If it is not specifically stated in the agreement that you would have to pay additional monies for something, you don't have to pay. Anymore than if it came in under budget that he would have to refund you the $3,000.

His mistake, his bad luck
