I have hired a painting contractor who in the process of painting has
damaged several areas in my home. The contractor has not addressed
these this damage and wants to deny that it was caused by them. The
project is almost 2/3 done and I have already paid half down. I don't
really feel comfortable letting the painters in my home at this point.
Is there any way I can terminate the contract and get my half down
back (as I said almost 2/3 has been done) or how do I get the
contractor to pay for the damage (small claims court)?
What damage can a painting contractor do?
LOL Trash the carpet and floors and furniture and anything else with paint,
trash the walls and ceilings by beating them with ladders and other equipment,
lot of other stuff limited only by your imagination.
