So, my question is: Is it ok to withold part of the payment due him to
cover repair costs? He has insurance that I may use but I'm still going
to hold the bal until repairs are completed to my satisfaction. You know
how insurance companies are.
Should I let it go to court?
Any other advise for a situation like this?
TIA

Payment for services is different from damage he may have done. You pay for
the services and contact his insurance company to make a claim for damages.

While withholding payment seems like a good and logical way to take
compensation, the law says otherwise. You can also file in small claims
court easily and cheaply.
