Having a dispute with a contractor who is working on your home can feel like a huge stressor. It is often best to take a moment to think about what options you have when this happens. This gives you a chance to formulate a plan and ensure that what you are doing is in your best interests. We realize that keeping your anger under control when there is a preventable and blatant issue might not be easy, but it will usually be worth it in the long run.

One thing that you must realize is that the contractor must meet the terms of the contract they have with you. This is why it is so important to have a written contract that outlines the scope of the work. Without this, the matter becomes a “he said-she said” ordeal that can be hard to sort out.

When things with a building project don’t go as expected, you might be losing money. It is all too easy for a contractor to think that you can randomly come up with extra money that wasn’t in the budget. The thing to remember here is that you shouldn’t have to pay the cost for the contractor’s errors or negligence.

We are here to help you learn about the options that you have when you are facing this type of situation. We will ensure that we protect your rights and that we have a clear plan for moving forward. There isn’t any good reason to allow the contractor to get away with providing a subpar job when you have paid them for specific work.
