I'm a painter and remodeler without an lcc or license. This past summer through start of new year I had worked on my biggest project, 58 garage units and surrounding structures at a 3 condo complex. They have paid me the full of my estimate but my final bill is yet to be paid. seeing as how the final bill includes all of the additional labor that was asked of me and performed of me I was even verbally told that I would be getting paid, but it may be negotiable the amount. Which is ridiculous, because I feel like I charged nothing the condo I did work on is also were my mother owns her unit and lives. which I have lived at half the time with her over the past year; i caught a legal charge and since the board of directors is an ex cop, it can be stated that they don't want to pay me due to this charge. Not taking me as seriously. It's stated 'seems as though this bill has come up for obvious reasons' was stated in an email between board members. which my mother used to be secretary on but currently no longer. Help! The board of condo association hired me to prep patch and paint the 58 garages. Now, out of everyone in the condo, only 58 of them have garages. So, those people with the garages will be charged an amount over the course of... finding out now. in the 'association dues' although they are not aware of this amount until project is done. they have 18 months to pay it. BUT the condo takes out loans to pay the laborers hired for any project and then try and pay it back with charging the tenants their association dues so, i have paperwork from condos meeting last night saying they have paid for all the garage repairs. Which there was a company who is huge and more seasoned than myself who charged them 37,000 for wood rot repair and such. Where as i had it added on my plate to patch all of their mistakes when there was still complaints about their work. I want to get paid! Do I have that right?
