No, probably not if this faulty work amounts
to a breach of the contract between the two of you, but without
reviewing this contract and the relevant facts at issue it would be
difficult to say with greater certainty. (You should be prepared, however,
for the possibility that this contractor may sue you if you fail
to pay the full amount agreed to and that if such were to occur
you would need to go to court to defend your positionj in the matter.)
