Last evening I went over the yard and driveway with my magnet and picked up 30 nails. I'm pretty sure there are more there yet.
I'm thinking of subtracting $5 for every nail from the check I write him and see what he does. |
Typical contractor. They'll spin you whatever BS you want to hear to get the job then do it "the way we've always done it". If you'd put it in your contract you'd be able to withhold payment. If you do now you might get away with it if the guy can't be bothered to chase you, otherwise he could pursue a lien against your property and make your life a pain.
