Basement Renovation

This company defaulted on our signed contract from June 2022, and a 6-week job (estimated) is now a 6 month job that remains incomplete to this day (January 2023).
The company owner repeatedly pushed the completion date back and told us that things in his personal life were causing the delay on our renovation. We trusted that he would complete the work and urged him to keep us informed.
We were very accommodating to his circumstances, and continued to pay him as per his requests.
Not hearing from him for more than 2 weeks and not having our texts or email messages returned, left us feeling abandoned and taken advantage of.
Despite an angry email sent by my husband, who has since apologized, we have given the owner opportunity to complete the job as per the contract and he has refused.
We have requested a partial refund of payment considering the percentage of work that is incomplete and that the company is in default. of the contract.
The owner has declined to reimburse us.
The Facebook business page has also disappeared.
We have been forced to hire other professionals to complete the work.

Approximate cost of services:
$9,500.00

Company Response

I was working this job for the Client, who upon several different times has changed scope of work several different times doors and swings after doors are hung , and then water a custom barn door built without discussing extra cost and I obliged quite a few changes in this project.
Material was provided by client and many times product was not available to me to make the timeline work properly. Without extra charges I bend and gave in to alot on good faith. My granddaughter who got RSV before christmas and was in our custody I had to deal with her health issues through sick kids . while I was dealing with this I kept thr husband informed , then this clients Husband or boyfriend decided to threaten to rip my skin from my bones call me a bunch of names in an email and left a paper trail . I was advised by the police to abandon the job based on the threats , and he still has no apologized nor even attempted to make any remorse. I absolved my contract in writing before Christmas after the threat, to thr husband in several emails all while he was constantly belittling me , and now Jan 15th 2023 the female party decides to come forward and make themselves look like saints while painting a picture of me being a bad contractor . I do fabulous work and would have totally gone back until the threats came across . Now I will not go back and no money will be returned based on all the work I did do .
I habe made it very clear further harassment and slander of my business anymore will result in a criminal prosecution of the husband / boyfriend violence will not be tolerated even if alcohol was a factor makes no excuse on anyone's part
