I hired a company to paint our new home before we moved in. Turns out, he had day workers painting with little experience. I have about 50 pictures worth of issues. They did a sub par job, broke a couple of small items, didn't rehang any lights or wall plates, didn't complete project, etc. I emailed the owner (who I signed the contract with) telling him I wasn't satisfied with the job, and wasn't paying remaining balance. He sent me an unnotarized Notice of Furnishing. And his one painter texted me saying "he" was going to put a lien on my property bc the owner hasn't paid him. Do I need to do anything?
1. Document your complaints with both the general contractor and sub-contractor (painter) in a letter or email you know is good.
