What is the name of your state? Michigan
We hired a company to concrete our driveway. A flyer was on our mailbox, that's how we heard of them. We got a decent estimate with a 10% discount if hiring them for the job right away. The owner and my husband both signed the paper stating the price for the job and a basic description of what would be done. No time frame for the job being completed is documented. The verbal estimate was 3 days, it's now going on over 2 weeks. We've paid the owner just over 1/2 of the agreed price. The owner just yesterday told the concrete driver we were supposed to pay him for the concrete he poured, which was not the deal. The concrete driver is now saying he is going to put a lien on our home if he doesn't get paid. He also said he's going to sit in our driveway to prevent another person from coming in and pouring additional concrete. The job is unfinished and the owner will not return calls. I couldn't find the company name listed in our counties DBA directory. The owner also threatened the concrete driver saying he was coming over to kick his "you know what". Also there were empty beer cans in the yard.
Any suggestions of steps we can take to get a handle on this situation?
