The plaintiff homeowner sued the defendant contractor for breach of contract and unjust enrichment arising from a home renovation project, seeking damages for incomplete and deficient work.
The defendant counterclaimed for unpaid extra work.
The court found that the parties had a binding fixed-price contract for the initial scope of work and that the plaintiff had authorized specific extras.
The court concluded the plaintiff underpaid the defendant by $7,220.50 for the authorized extras, but also found the defendant liable for $10,731.46 in construction deficiencies.
Both the claim and counterclaim were allowed in part.
