contract law
I signed a contract for home
renovations. The contact presented
the final bill with insurance and
deposit included. We paid because he
threatened to put a lien on our
house. I wrote final payment on the
check. He never completed anything
on the punch list. So we did the
completion ourselves. Then, 5
months after that last payment, he
presented us with a bill for things he
forgot to charge for. He subtracted
the cost of some of the uncompleted
punch list items but overlooked
others. My question: Is it legal for
him to present a bill after the final
bill? Can he put a lien on my house 5
months after the last work was
done?
