We went over thoroughly with a paving contractor what we want and can afford. The contract specifically states what we agreed to have done and pay for.The morning the contractor s employees arrived, we walked through the enitre agreement again. He showed us where the tar will end and only millet be used for the actual driveway.Half way through the day, they were still doing what the written contract clearly shows. One employee showed me where the tar will be put and end as I was walking to my car to leave for work.Three hours later I recieved a phone call from my son stating the owner came to the house when it was done. He demanded twice the sum from my daughter-in-law. Using intimidation she demanded she pay $8000.00 instead of the agreed $4200.00 (both sums were in addition to the $800 put down.). When my daugher-in-law refused to write a new check for the amount he wanted, he demanded she sign an agreement to make monthly payments for the additional amount.My daughter-in-law put my son on the phone and the contractor threatened to come back and tear up the drive way. We are afraid he is going to make it unable and harmful to our tires. We had down a tarred skirt leading into the road. and stone base.The contractor obviously told his workers to pave the entire driveway after we left and now wants is to pay for it or he is going to ruin our property.He did take the $4200 agreed on and cased it.What can we do to make sure he does not ruin our drive way for spite?
Do you have a copy of the written and signed contract??? then if you do. you are covered ... inform the police or a lawyer of the intended threat by the contractor and you should be right. having a camera ready would be handy ... just in case some one was home if he tries to do damage....
Call the police.
