A construction contractor sued a homeowner for unpaid amounts under a residential renovation contract and for authorized extras.
The homeowner counterclaimed for alleged deficiencies, completion costs, and other expenses.
The court reconstructed the terms of the contract based on quotes, oral agreements, and communications because no written contract existed.
It found the homeowner breached the contract by refusing to pay a reasonable portion of the progress payment and by denying the contractor access to complete the work and remedy minor deficiencies.
The court held that the contractor was entitled to the unpaid contract balance and payment for authorized extras, subject to deductions for reasonable completion costs.
Judgment was granted for the contractor and the counterclaim was dismissed.
