Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors
What recourse do I have with a siding contractor who made a mistake on my contract?
I have a hail damage/siding insurance claim and a contractor that I signed a binding contract with to do the work if I got the claim. Now that I have the claim the contractor has written another contract for the work, with extra work I ask them to perform including gutters, facia, and wrapping all my exterior trim in aluminum. After the contract was signed, my contractor and I both noticed that the insurance company had paid for 13 windows to be wrapped in aluminum, and I only have trim on 5 of my window, leaving me with 8 windows that were paid for that I am not having the work done to ($967.00) which would go in my pocket. Now, the contractor says that they miss measured some things, and is going to charge me $742.00 more than the original contract. My question is am I still obligated to have them do the work, even though they have broken the contract? Remember, I originally signed a seperate contract stating they could do the work, if I got the Ins. Claim. Is that still binding?

- You're not obligated to do anything if they have breached the contract. If I were you, I would get a lawyer immediately.
- Yup, I smell shark bait.
