Lousy Carpentry Work By Contractor. What Should I Do?

[Starburst18 0]

Dear peeps...

Really need some advice here.

Found this contractor through recommendations, saw his works at a place he just renovated, we felt comfortable with him and decided to take up his service.

In the end, from the initial promise of completing by 8 March so that we can be at our new place to celebrate our daughter's birthday to now... we are still no where near to moving in. If we count back, its already 2 months.

When I questioned him, he pushed the blame to my electrician. Argh! This one aside.. since so slow, we should expect good quality rite... the answer is NO!

I found chips on my table tops... my solid top scratched... the formica was pasted like patchworks in pieces ...

What can I do ...

Worse of all, he intends to charge me $1300 for a sliding door beneath the window...
