In this episode of Home Contractor Disputes, we break down the essential first steps homeowners can take when a contractor stops showing up or delivers incomplete work. From reviewing your signed agreement to navigating change orders, demand letters, licensing board complaints, small claims court, and lien challenges, this guide focuses on practical, documented actions that build a strong case. Learn how to spot gaps in your paperwork early, create your own records with certified mail, and escalate methodically without unnecessary drama. Waiting rarely helps—taking these sequential steps can regain control and create official records that strengthen your position.
Key takeaways:
- Review your contract for scope, payments, and deadlines to identify missing change orders.
- Send factual demand letters with clear deadlines to prompt contractor responses.
- File complaints with your state's licensing board using documented evidence.
- Pursue small claims for disputes under local limits with organized paperwork.
- Check and challenge liens promptly through county records.
