0upvotes

Handle a dispute with a contractor — unfinished work, poor quality, overcharging, or a no-show — with a path that protects your money and your options. Use when asked to deal with a contractor dispute, my contractor did bad work / won't finish / overcharged, or how to get a builder to fix their work. Produces a read on your position (contract, payments, evidence), a firm-but-professional communication and demand path, documentation and payment-leverage guidance, and escalation options (mediation, licensing board, chargeback, small claims) — flagging that it's not legal advice.

# Contractor Dispute

A contractor dispute is stressful because your home and your money are both on the line. The winning approach isn't a shouting match — it's leverage: a clear record of the agreement and the problems, a professional demand with a deadline, careful use of any unpaid balance, and knowing the escalation routes. This lays that out so you push for a fix without torching your position.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A position read** — where you stand based on the contract/agreement, what's been paid, and the evidence you have
- **The communication & demand** — a firm, professional message stating the problem, the fix required, and a deadline
- **Documentation guidance** — the photos, contract, messages, payment records, and a defect list to assemble
- **Payment leverage** — how any remaining balance or retention is your strongest lever (and the risks of withholding)
- **Escalation options** — mediation, the licensing/trade body, a card chargeback, small claims, or a lien response — matched to the situation
- **A boundary** — this isn't legal advice; for big sums or liens, get a professional
