The plaintiff contractor brought a construction lien action against the defendant homeowners for unpaid work and extras on a residential renovation project.
The defendants counterclaimed for damages, alleging the plaintiff abandoned the project and performed defective work.
The court found that the defendants wrongfully repudiated the contract without justification, as the alleged deficiencies did not meet the high threshold required for termination.
The plaintiff was awarded $19,113.80 for the balance of the contract price and approved extras, less credits for unfinished work, and the defendants' counterclaim was dismissed.
