[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So, the general consensus is that I can't counter? I thought to negotiate the settlement in some way, hoping that my options weren't limited to: 1. take the insufficient money, or 2. accept him back into my home to do the work, risking further nonsense. Is there anything I can respond with that would be convincing in any way? This really is a low-ball. He's just got to come up a bit. Can anyone help with a response? What should I say? TIA [/quote] You can certainly threaten bringing a lawyer into the picture if your only goal is to get him to up his price. Say you've consulted with other contractors, and based on the other estimates, you believe he needs to give you $X - and that your lawyer believes that you have a strong case to justify it.[/quote]
