So far everything has been verbal outside of the original contract - I called him and asked him to come to the house to see the work (the bad parts are sporadic and mixed in with the good parts)

He agreed with me and said he would tear it out and then the next day he called and said the person that did the work said it was fine and he would not tear it out and redo it.

It is my understanding that the guy that did the work - works directly for the contractor but who knows

What about putting down slate over top as an option to fix - I do not have an issue paying the full balance if and when I am happy with the job - I have told him as much - Have also told him I am not looking for a discount for a bad job
