[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, don't pay or he will never complete the work.  Tell him you will make sure he gets paid as soon as the work is done.  I would clean myself at that point and put down as many of the rugs and other stuff you can do yourself.  Then take that off the bill.[/quote]

Trust me, I'd love to, but the bill wasn't itemized to that extent. The cleaning is because of a load of concrete dust that is now covering the things stored in our unfinished basement. The area was totally flooded, so we removed and cleaned everything so we could submit damages to insurance. Then, right after we replace everything, they drill a hole in the concreate and blast everything with dust. We requested they cover the shelves with plastic beforehand, but the message didn't get to the actual workers.  So they agreed to clean. The only reason I don't want to move the rugs and furniture myself is that the new flooring is guarenteed by our insurance company for the work that the contractors do. So they have an incentive not to scratch the new floors when they move all the area rugs and furniture back in. [/quote]
