Painter over charge from estimate

My painter submitted an

estimate for $1000, we and

him signed it, he never said

anything about cost overruns,

and now submitted a bill for

$3150. We did not budget that

amount, nor do we have it.

What can we do?

Re: Painter over charge from estimate

I would need to see your contract (estimate) to advise, but without amendatory language, there would be no basis for additional charges.

Is the painter incorporated or an individual?

Is he licensed?

Call or email for assistance.
