[quote=Anonymous]Contact both the sub and main contractor, refuse to pay the balance if there is one, and threaten with a lawsuit if repairs are not made. You have to hit hard from the get-go, OP, these people are used to complaints. In the future, what you must teach your parents is to: 1. hire highly reputable and recommended people. In Montgomery County, there's a annual catalogue called "Best Picks Report" which lists the most touted contractors. I have consistently had great experiences with workers in that report. 2. write a contract where payments are made in increments after each deliverable, and where a significant part of the balance is paid upon completion and inspection of the work. The contractor will have less incentive to walk away from a bad job. [/quote]
