Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  specialized stairs was made aware of the liens on title prior to hiring his company. We disclose all our legal situations because we were taking over the construction of our home from a previous general contractor who was solely in charge of hiring every trade working on our home. [redacted] We made this progress to specialized stairs and at that point he offered to start work on our home in January 2017 once we pay the deposit. We did so on the 23 of December 2016. I feel at that point or prior, he could have said he didn't feel comfortable working on my home. But why take my funds and then tell me that he can't work for me. [redacted] I would be quite comfortable had he said he couldn't deal with my situation. No funds had been given and very minimal prep work had been done on my home. I would have paid for the 1 day his employee spent at my home and walked away. I want my money back minus what labour and material install in my home.
Sincerely,

On September 16 of 2016, the client and I ( meaning Specialized Stair and Rail Ltd ) agreed to a price of $ 70,465.50 for the purchase of stair material, railing material and the installation of both.  The client signed a agreement to purchase the goods and paid a $ 21,000.00 deposit....

 During this time the client advised us that he had some legal difficulties with the construction of the house but that all the problems had been resolved or were about to be.  We were expecting no problems going forward. In January of 2017, the client added solid hardwood treads and installation to the order that totaled $ 10,554.00.  We started to install the job at this time. Our installer was on the job for two weeks when [redacted].  I immediately checked the land title and found liens totalling $ $ 1,925,861.00 from 16 different suppliers. The client clearly had not resolved any conflicts with any suppliers despite the fact that 4 months had passed. It was decided I would discontinue the installation of this job until new terms could be agreed upon that guaranteed me that I would be paid.  It is my legal right to withhold product and services when evidence is produced that show it is unlikely I would be paid on time. After meeting with the client once more, he told me once again that this issue would be resolved quickly.  I told him I would resume installation when all liens had been removed.  On Feb. 16/17 I once again check the land title and found $ 1,925,861 in liens to 16 different vendors and then on Feb 9/17 the title showed $ 307,545 in liens to 7 vendors.  On April 11/17 the title showed $ 307,545 in liens to 7 vendors and finally on April 19/17 the title showed liens of $ 280,281 from 5 vendors. [redacted]  [redacted]  [redacted]  [redacted]
* I have tried to come to an agreement with the client that ensure I will be paid. On Jan 30/17 I offered to finish the job if the remaining balance of $ 49,465.50 was paid in full prior work being done.  On April 5/17, I broke down for the client what had been completed ($ 70,465.50) and what had yet to be completed ( $ 10,554.22 ).  With these number in mind I offered to finish the job if $ 35,000 was paid up front and then $ 6254.93 was paid at the beginning of every week for the next 4 weeks I needed to complete the job.  I would have started on April 24 and finish on May 19.On April 18/17, I offered to sell all of the material that had been produced to this point to the client so that he could hire someone else to finish the job.  It totaled $ 35,056.42.Please keep in mind that the client wanted special order spindles in a custom powder coat color and that all of the wood product is made from Sapele which is a exotic hardwood.  None of this is stock material and cannot be easily liquidated.I have all of the documentation to prove the above statement.I believe that I have been reasonable, but [redacted]  We seem to be at a stalemate.
