What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
A contractor gave us an initial verbal bid of 3800 to replace the roof on our home. He then replied a few days later stating that it would be an additional 400 for wood that he didnt account for. Since the price was still lower than other bids we agreed for him to do our roof for $4200. We payed him $1500 before he started and agreed to pay the remainder when he completed the work. Well, when he did complete the work he had our total up to 4713, an additional $513 that he never mentioned nor did we agree to. Are we obligated to pay this additional $513 since we never agreed to it?
