In the state of Michigan, my contractor gave me an estimate of $90,000 to repair water damage on my small cabin. We had a good working relationship. I paid him. Covid happened, and I did not visit the cabin. He then claimed there was water damage, and he had to redo half the work. Hie charged me $39000 for the "redo" There are no pictures of the damage, although I asked for them at the time, and he "doesn't have to"give me any lists of materials used. I also have no hot water. He claims he is "not responsible" for that. He promised to repair a few things, but has since filed a mechanics lien for $39,000m on the house. I told him I would pay him (just so he goes away) but I don't have 40,000. I would pay monthly for a year or so.I asked that we not involve lawyers & extra fees (like liens). What are my options?
