The plaintiff, Keen Landscaping Inc., sued the self-represented defendant, Ann Marie Stewart, under the Construction Lien Act for unpaid work related to the installation of a fiberglass pool and associated landscaping.
The defendant disputed the corporate entity, contract terms, and quality of work.
The court found that the defendant knew she was contracting with a corporate entity and that a contract existed, evolving through various proposals.
The total contract price was determined to be $87,014.52, with an outstanding balance of $46,580.97.
The court found the plaintiff substantially completed the project, but noted two deficiencies: oozing glue from patio stones and non-compliant patio steps, requiring a further hearing to determine rectification costs.
