Who can we contact, what can we do with a licensed contractor who will not finish our newly built home?
We have had serious problems with our contractor. He has been paid in full.
He blackmailed us into signing off on the house. He threatened to put a
lien on our newly built house if we did not give him all of the money. We
did this and he has not came and finished the work he agreed to do. We had
him sign an addendum to the contract that states that he will finished the
work. He has failed to fullfil the agreement. We are living in the house
now. The tile work is substandard. The doors leak and are not installed correctly. The wood flloors have not been glued down properly. He is making us pay for hardware that goes on the interior/exterior doors and the finished work. l was reviewing the contract and it states that we have to ''have an arbitrator to mediate our disagreements''. Does anyone ( a lawyer, professional mediator, licensed contractor, etc)know how this process works. Do we have to contact the Contractor is State License Board in California before we can sue these unethical, lying, unprofessional people? If anyone has had something similiar happen or is a lawyer, contractor, or other concerned party, please help us in this situation. Also, can he countersue us for anything even though he has been paid in full and the house has passed inspection? He tried to give us a $38k bill for upgrades that were in the original contract, now he is charging us for these!!!! Please someone give us some useful feedback. This is our only home. We are not investors! Thankyou.
Forget the arbitration. You need to go straight to a real
estate attorney. The process is you need to have a Court look at this. I
wish you luck.
Get a lawyer! Why would you ask complete strangers a question
of this magnitude, when it is clear you will need legal representation!
