Homeowner pays contractor 70 per cent of total fee, fears he will not return, seeks advice
But the contractor has all his tools there, and the dispute seems to be about one specific instance where the contractor could not get access to the property...
My name is Sam and I live in Thornhill. I hired a contractor based on the store’s recommendation. The contractor left the site on Friday last week and blamed me for locking him out although the garage door and connecting access were open and he was laying tiles inside my house. Apparently, he could not cross a 3′ wide stretch of newly laid tile.
He stopped the job since he has not been paid a $100 that he purchased materials for the job, conveniently disregarding that he has received 70% payment for 40% of the work. He has stopped communicating and although there are his work tools inside my home I do not feel confident that he will return anytime soon.
What are my options?
Researched him by his name and saw a review that described the above situation with another client some time back.
Sam
