What is the name of your state? Florida
I am a pool contractor In the state of Florida. A builder hired my company to build a pool for his personal home. He signed a basic contract with my company with a draw schedule of 10% down 40% - on first stage 40% on second stage and 10% on last stage. I completed first stage in which I used sub-contractors. He paid a trade rate to the subcontractors and then refused to pay the draw schedule. I believe he used our company to take advatage of out contacts. He then Fired us off the job and re permitted the job in his own name. There was no workmanship dispute, He refused to pay and I said fine I would lien his property. He has sent me an attorney letter requesting his depost returned and claimed job abandonment.
I have a signed contract with his signiture on it. Does he have a leg to stand on in court? The contract is a basic consumer construction contract stating our liabilitys and allows cancelation before construction begins.
Thank you for any response
