I am not the contractor and not qualify to comment his work, the only way is to bring the third party for the estimate of repairing the hardwood floor. However, the fee is around $9000.
The first step which I did is to ask him repair, but he told me it neccessary to remove 50 pieces to fix one piece of damaged hardwood. I couldn't accept this idea.
So I told him that I will hire other contractors to fix the damaged hardwood floor and the repairing fee will be deducted from his payment and he agreed it over th phone.
The second step is to bring one well known local company for the estimate of repairing hardwood, they took the pcitures of various damaged hardwood pieces and told me the fees. Now it's my decision
to fix it or not.
I understand it not easier for him to make money, it's the reason why I took the loss ($9,000) in the first place. But what he did is to put mechanic lien to my property without noticing me first. I wouldn't know it if my bank officer hadn't been told the mechanic lien on this Saturday afternoon.
The I tried to email and call him for asking to remove the mechanic lien immediately before I take the legal action next Monday.
If you are his friend, please let him know the consequence of the legal action.
As I know, he has young kid.
It's reason why I email and post in CFC to give him last chance but seems that he refused to remove the mechanic lien.
Please understand it's not easier for me to make $9,000 either.
