What is the name of your state? Calif
Hired a contractor to paint house. Signed contract for 6400. Sales pitch said they were professional, would repair all damage to stucco, fill nail holes, put two coats where required and clean up. Paid 600 deposit, then 2000 on first day of job. Down hill from there. Had to follow them around to get things done. They didn't fill cracks, they missed spots all over, they dumped paint down my fruit trees (water hole), they got paint all over the sidewalks, they cracked shingles with their later, got overspray everywhere, original paint on trim bled through new coat, front door has runs and missed spots, and they left without finishing when I told them I wasn't signing their contract saying I was satisified with the job. I'm not going to pay them the balance, what should I do to protect myself? I took lots of pictures.
