Help bad contractor

[OHRoadwarrior]

You know something Mr. OHRoadwarrior, iv been checking your other post and there is not one of them where you are not attacking the people, there is an old saying, speaks only when words are wiser than silence, maybe you should do that.

There is a lot of smart and helpful people in this forum i know cause iv been helped by them they know how to help people in need of advise you just like to sound smart and there is a big difference between being smart and a smart ass

I have not attacked you. I have simply requested you provide pertinent information and pointed out the actions that led to this situation. Would you rather I pat you on the back, give you an atta boy, say what a bad person the contractor is and how he should be drug through the mud and forced to replace everything your dad owned. Okay, you are 100% correct. Sue the no good louse in court for everything he owns. Happy now?

You just want to present the image that dad is an innocent, old, helpless victim, of a mean nasty abusive contractor and request everyone help you filet him for it. Sorry, the cheerleaders are on break. The contractor has a right to earn a living also. He has a right to be paid for his work. He has a right to be paid for a contract partially completed due to the homeowner interfering with the job. You have not provided enough info, only conjecture to prove otherwise.

I can see the lack of wisdom old dad has imparted on his children. It seems somewhat similar in nature, to what you have said his own is.

i don't have the contract with me but what i read from it says the name and license# of the contractor and its states that he is being hired by my dad to do the roof of the house to be finished in 3 days with legal authorization by the city for the price of $8000 getting a $2000 advance, and it also states if contract were to be breached by contractor he would give the advance back and if it would be breached by my dad the contractor keeps the advance.
And like i said he doesn't want to do the job now or give the money back

Doesn't sound like the permits were the contractors job, and your dad should have taken you or your husband to get the permit. (owners of the home)

Also sounds like your dad broke the contract by telling him to stop, and undue his work.

that 2k probably went to materials, return them if possible.

Typically permits are required to be displayed in a prominent location on the property work is to be performed at.

The contractor bears responsibility to ensure that the proper permit has been obtained prior to starting work.

That does not solve the problem for the OP, but does highlight an issue the contractor has with the building inspection department, and even in court.
