I’m a homeowner in Massachusetts. A contractor took a small deposit from me in August for a siding job. The work was to be done in August and since then nothing has occurred. He has a slew of excuses. I no longer trust him or want to invest tons of Money with someone who runs his business so poorly. He claims he has ordered the materials. Am I legally required to stay with this contractor if he says he ordered materials? I have not signed a contract. No work has been done and I have only provided him a deposit.
