What is the name of your state? Tennessee
Not sure if this is the place for this question, but here goes. We hired a contractor in November 2007 to fix our roof, chimney, gutters, paint, etc....They showed up and almost finished....December 5th is the last time we saw them. We have called and left messages. The contractor will not answer our calls when we call from our phones (he will from a # he doesn't recognize). Unfortunatley my husband paid him in full the last day he was here. Anyway, the contractor has left his trailer with all the scrap wood in it at our house in our front yard!
I don't know what our recourse is. My husband says he will now finish the job himself, but that makes me mad because we have paid this contractor to do the whole job. We do have a receipt listing all the items the contractor was suppose to fix/do. As it is 1/27/2008 now, how long do we have to wait to do anything? And is there anything we can do? Can we sell this contractor's trailer to recoup the money that we paid him? I am so aggravated!
