On 6/18/2001 I had some emergency repairs totaling $370.00 done to the roof of my house due to a tree falling on the roof. I gave the roofer all the needed information of who to contact at my insurance company and he turned in a claim for the $370.00. I have since caught this roofer in several lies about the estimate to do a permenant repair and he has failed to give the insurance co. the info they need to process the claim on the permenant repairs. Last Fri. I called him and told him that I had decided to let another roofer do the repairs but my insurance would pay for his work he had already done. On 7/16/2001 I got a call from roofer #1 stating that I had until 6p.m. on 7/17/2001 to pay him in full ($370.00) or he was going to take a lien on my home. I had not received a bill from him until he came by my house Mon. afternoon about 5:30. He claimed that he dropped the bill off at the insurance co. and asked them to send it to me. I immediately asked him if they did his book keeping and he got p.o.ed and stated that he wanted his money now. I went ahead and paid him since the insurance co, told me earlier that they have mailed me a check for this ammount. My question is this, has he done anything I can take legal action against him for and reasonably hope to get any damages for?
