Why do home contractor over-extend themselves accepting new jobs? I had a contractor once that was always putting off doing the work because he "had to go look at another job." This happened about 10 times. Why do they spend so much time looking for other jobs when they should be doing the ones for which they are hired? I finally got fed up and told him to forget it. He responded that I had no idea how the contracting business worked. So, how does it work?
Is it legal for a home improvement contractor to walk off the job? We hired a home improvement contractor for a major landscaping job. He completed about 80% of the work but then disappeared. Right before he disappeared, he asked if we minded paying him for the work he already completed. He seemed nice so we agreed. Then, he vanished, even though he signed a contract with us saying that he was supposed to do our driveway (which he didn't -- and now it is near winter and we have no driveway). Can he legally do this? (walk off a job even though the work in the contract is incomplete)

Are you a home contractor? Have you ever agreed to do some work that you really couldn't do? But you figured, it couldnt be that hard...or you thought you would be able to find someone to work alongside you who knew what to do? When or if you realised it was "over your head" did you decline the job, removed/replaced yourself, or did you persist doggedly? I assume wanting or needing the money would be factors? But basically, this contractor here today is trying to fit sqare pegs in round holes...and when it doesnt work he just uses "force"...his work is rough and will have to be redone. **For example, cutting countertops with a dull blade so it came out quite jagged, he says...no one will really see that ,u prbably will put your countertop appliances near here anyway** He also does not have supplies, constantly gone for little things. And has broken stuff. Though he came with recommendations he is not working for me! Shld I give him time to perform better or just axe him after 2 days?

Mechanic's Lien; If you have a work quality or other disupte with a home improvement contractor he can? file a mechanic's lien against your property, which if not resolved can result in foreclosure of your property. This powerful enforcement device is written into the constitution of most state goverments meaning that attempts to remove language from a home improvements contract about the right to a mechanic's lien would be unconstitutional in that state. I can't think of any other businesses afforded this kind of protection. Yet from a daily scan of news reports no industry seems to be as replete with crooks, hacks, charlatans and scam artists as the home improvements contractors. Do you feel that it is time to remove the mechanic lien's provisions prevalent in most state constitutions?
