What is the name of your state? Georgia
It's me again with one other question about my 3/4 complete renovation. Where I live it may be too cold to paint the exterior of the house. The contractor is asking for more in this "final draw" with the promise of attending to our punch list. I am wanting to retain enough to be sure the electric is complete ( it flickers) the plumbing is complete ( not too sure this is correct) and the exterior is painted ( which may not be able to be done as it may be too cold). I have considered hiring a home inspector too ( not my contractor), and want to retain some funds to ensure the contractor will complete the work and anything the inspector may find that needs to be fixed. Can I tell the contractor this and negoiate the final draw amount?
Also, in our contract he was to get all permits, etc, but I was the actual one who spent hours at our city hall getting a variance and new permit...guess it is too late for me to charge him for my time? Ha ha... just venting on that one..I choose to sit in city hall to expedite our variance. Thanks for your replies...
