So far 1/4 of the bill has been paid. But they've completed probably 1/2 of the work.Seems like you have two options, both are shitty.
1. Sue the company, your going to be fronting the cash for the lawyer. They may be on the hook for any additional costs over the original contract. No idea on timeline, could be 3-6 months could be 2+ years. While you are out the cash monthly to the lawyers. Even with a judgement, you start the next journey of trying to collect.
2. Realize you spent xxx amount of dollars to get what has already been done and find another contractor. What was the total cash you paid, you said 1/4 of the bill. How much work has already been done?

Custom cabinets, tile (floor and back splash), range hood install, pocket doors install, install a exterior door, countertops, sink, all appliances, then all the finish work.What's left to finish?
Contract the rest out yourself to individual trades.
Yah, I've called two just waiting on a call back. Located in CA.Wow. Speak with an attorney. Where are you located?
Sounds like youre ahead, and they have no intention of finishing the job,
I’d try everything to have the original GC finish 50% of the job for remaining 75% of pay, right in his pocket
Maybe slip a lil Gluck Gluck in their nahmean?
Not only do they have no intention. They dont even have a crew they can send here to do it if they wanted to.
We are ahead but the original GC told me most of his guys all picked up other jobs. So right now, he isn't sure when they would be available. He also said that legally since the contract is still under the larger company he isnt supposed to be on the property working.
Yes, I would say so but I'm not a legal expert at all.Oh god, plot thickens
But aren’t they essentially breaking the contract?
Yes, I would say so but I'm not a legal expert at all.
Not doing the work, just finding the people to do the work. I assume you are at demo stage and have not progressed beyond that? Did they give you a set of plans?Managing it myself as in doing the work? If so, 0 chance lol.
This was my suggestion above also, sub'ing out the rest himself. Sounds like demo is done, but he has a long way to go.Not doing the work, just finding the people to do the work. I assume you are at demo stage and have not progressed beyond that? Did they give you a set of plans?
We are a little passed demo. Still in the rough stages though. Some framing and left to do and some drywall needs to be put up.Not doing the work, just finding the people to do the work. I assume you are at demo stage and have not progressed beyond that? Did they give you a set of plans?
The demo has been done. There is just some framing that needs to be done and drywall that needs to go up. So maybe they're a little more passed half then?How have they completed half the work if only the demo has been completed? Are the cabinet, counter and appliance materials already paid for? Do you have them?
