I am rejecting this response because: The responses are not satisfactory to resolve my complaints. I told Mr [redacted] my estimate to complete the electric work which was contracted and paid to [redacted] by Mr. [redacted] alone is $3,000. I had to complete demolition and sealing myself. I also had to complete framing work which I had specifically asked to be done several times (repair of ceiling joists/trusses). Mr. [redacted] did not pass framing inspection and had to correct problems in his work and be reinspected. Mr. [redacted] was not present to supervise subcontractors and as a result the electric rough-in had about a dozen mistakes/problems which I am left to correct since [redacted] walked off the job after threatening to do so unless I paid Mr. [redacted], and after I informed them Mr. [redacted] was no longer on the job. I deny agreeing to his estimates and I repeatedly asked for reports on charges incurred on a periodic basis, which request was emphatically denied. I offered to pay $8,000 which represented to my perspective his full charges ( to me overcharges) minus monies to complete electric, framing, demo, and prep which was billed. This was a good faith offer to bring closure while recognizing both parties concerns. I deny holding up this project in any way. However work was not completed when I was told it would be which is resulting in loss of rental income.

1. No for contract for services provided: Customer was provided with a detailed estimate of work to be done. Customer verbally agreed to the estimate provided and paid a 33% deposit.2. Work not completed in timely fashion: This was a direct result of the customer not making...
the decision on what work was to be performed by contractor.3. Work not completed (including demolition, surface sealing/preparation, framing, electric): Customer was provided with a detailed list of all work that was completed and billed for. A request for a specific list of items billed for and not completed have been ignored.4. Failure to transfer building permit: In a text message exchange on February 2nd the customer agreed to pay my invoice once I received an approved framing inspection. The agreement was that I would get the framing inspection, he would pay my invoice, and I would transfer the building permit. I got the framing inspection as I gave my word that I would do. The customer refuses to pay my invoice. I will not transfer the building permit until my invoice is paid. The text message exchange is still on my phone. I will make it available at mediation. Customer was in possession of my invoice when he made this agreement.5. Told subcontractor ([redacted]) not to complete contracted work: Customer's treatment of the subcontractor's employees and failure to pay my invoice is the reason they will not complete the work. Details of this, which can include witnesses and/or signed affidavits can be provided at mediation. Customers desired settlement:1. Charges mus be discounted for work that I needed to complete: If customer can show legitimate work he completed that was invoiced for, these items will be deducted from my invoice. I will not discount my invoice while being held hostage for payment.2. Permit transfer: I gave the customer my word that I would transfer the building permit once he paid my invoice. Once again, he agreed to this in a text message on February 2nd and was in possession of my invoice at the time. I will not transfer the building permit until my invoice is paid.3. Signed / executed releases: I will absolutely sign a release and lien wavier when my invoice is paid. I will agree to mediation or arbitration in an attempt to settle this matter.
