quotation is not really enough, if able to attach with a set of lay-out and detail drawing, to show how the thing look and what is the measurement, and sign by both parties, then will be nice.

Hi all, I'm in the dillema with our house reno contractor too. The wet works started since mid March and it yet to finish still!!! It just the wet kitchen and 2nd floor balcony extension, tiles installments for toilets, wet kitchen, car porch and this took us like ages
The uncle always don't show up until we called to check, different unacceptable excuses (bad weather, car breakdown,sick, license need to renew) are given and didn't show the sincerity of apologize when they broke our toilets mirror, cause leaking of water pipe till we found out.
We are still holding about 10k and wondering if anyone can help on how to draft a black n white agreement to defer the payment until it pass the safe period (6 mths?) to ensure the quality of his work?

Our missed Here is WRONG contractor and don't have any black n white
With him earlier on,

Finally, get him out from my way after given him the final outstanding...

Purposely as him come to new house to collect the cheque, than when he arrived, I just point him
1) to the concreate car pourche: you see till now the leaking still can't solve
2) you see the car part is higher than next door 3 inch? Thanks for you addition high which cause the tile folks have to align to what you have done
3) you see my living hall, it is higher than normal, it thank for your extra work.

and I just handover the cheque and get the receipt, just turn back and walk in.

Yes, I may be no respect but sorry I can't respect this type of people.

Ya, that what i believe too, so i sure my life will getting well, and i sure he will in the other way. ^^
