Legal Question in Construction Law in Virginia
contractor with a suspended license
March 2, 2007 we signed a contract with a man to have work done on our home. His deadline was April 2, 2007. After signing the contract and giving him $19,000 we found out his license had been suspended, we had him and the capenter sign another agreement that the work would be done to all above specification. The carpenter later walked out on the job after having an argument with the contract. We are a month behind the agreement date. Are we legally obligated to pay him the full amount due? Can we penalize him for not being done on time? Some days no one shows up for work and we are feed up. HELP!

More information would likely be required, including a review of the terms of the contract, by an attorney
with the necessary knowledge and experience, in order to offer a credible opinion and appropriate advice on this matter.
