The plaintiff electrical contractor brought a construction lien action against the defendant restaurant owner for unpaid services and materials supplied during a restaurant build-out.
The defendant disputed the contract price, scope of work, and claimed set-offs for alleged deficiencies and incomplete work.
The court found that the parties had formed a binding contract based on the plaintiff's estimate and that the defendant breached the contract by non-payment.
The court allowed a portion of the plaintiff's claimed extras but dismissed the defendant's set-off claims due to a lack of cogent evidence.
The plaintiff was awarded a lien and judgment in the amount of $66,307.50.
