If a contractor quits in the middle of a job, the first thing you want to do is notify the contractor in writing of the scope of work they failed to finish. Ask for a completion date and give a deadline for the contractor to respond to you. Under no circumstances should you give the contractor additional funds under the promise they will finish. Contact an attorney to begin legal proceedings if the contractor fails to respond to your written communication or still doesnβt complete the work by the new deadline. Usually, homeowners can file for breach of contract and violations of the consumer protection acts, leading to treble damages, potential fraud, and other causes of action.
