new builder..had bad feeling about him from the start....paid quickly 2x
3rd and final payment is the problem
20+ days past due
says he didnt get invoice...hmmmmm
resent invoice...still no payment
so i call him again.....get slightly threatening.....asking what the issue is....explaining that i can take payment plans
i get an email from him today.....saying he doesnt like some of the extra charges since there were issues on my end during the job......
i had a new hire....he drilled out the studs for a vent pipe....he drilled through a 2x4, then through the drywall into the next room and into the customers dryer...huge mistake......all the damage is hidden next to the dryer that is 1/4" from the wall (damage on side of dryer).....customer laughed about it and said do nothing......i offered the builder $$ to repair....he declined since customer didnt care.........on my last day on the job i offered the customer $100+ to settle the dryer issue...i said go out to eat on me.....customer would not take the $$.......i assumed issue was settled
until today
now the builder says because of my extra charges that he is having the dryer repainted and the drywall repaired.....and if he feels like it he is going to upcharge his normal % to manage the repair......he's trying to get out of the final payment by rehashing old issues that were settled....
he owes me $550.....because of the issue i am willing to let it go.......im just really, REALLY irritated right now over it....he's Fíng with me....
i emailed him back telling him to be a professional, pay me and then move on our separate ways...i also told him if he continues down the path of not paying me and repairing the customers dryer that i will be contacting the homeowner and asking him how this resolved issue is now come back....i want to make sure he's really even repairing the dryer......and not just lying
this customer is my oldest friend and accountants next door neighbor....he did the remodel on my friends house....
this guy is a general contractor, but mainly he's a tile installer.......he does the tile for one of my main builders....ive already contacted that builder to let him know im having issues since he told me he doesnt trust the guy fully......ive worked for that builder for 7 years, while the tile guy is brand new......
should i just let it all go due to my helpers mistake?
i DO feel i owe the homeowner something.....i just dont like the fact that all was good 60 days ago....and now that payment is due those settled issues are a reason to skip final payment
