Advice regarding payment to Contractor

Wendy Cline
4 years ago

I had some words with a contractor mid-project due to the fact that he breached the contract by not completing on time (we hired in last August to complete by mid November). We agreed to part ways amicably but he was still insistent I owed him more $ even though he decided against pursuing it legally. I feel like I'm the kind of person who wants to be fair regardless. I am giving you a general scope and some pictures to see if anyone can help me determine if I truly owe him anything or if he was just angry about losing the job mid-stream. Here are some of the highlights; I just need a general ballpark idea of what this should cost with materials and labor (only what he did so far). I would rather get a mid-to-high estimation based on the fact that a contractor generally has an upcharge.

1. Sunroom size 16’ x 22’ ft

2. All windows installed and 2 are sliding glass on each side and you’ll see on the pic (of the side) there is a special cut window at the top under the roof on each side.

3. Concrete that was on existing patio had to be removed so that did require a special machine to break it all up and then new concrete was poured after footers were done

4. It was framed

5. He did a handrail inside because there was nothing along that area beside the basement steps…probably about 6 ft long by 3.5 ft high

6. Windows were installed but not yet flashed

7. Roof was 28 gauge…it was installed but not flashed (tied in from existing slate roof)

8. Even though the side pic you see siding on the outside, that was started by the new guy, so don’t count that into estimate
