The “Home Remodeling Bootcamp for Homeowners” would have prevented this typical scenario
How can we back out of a contract with our contractor? We signed a contract over 6 months ago and still have nothing to show for it. We live in the East San Gabriel Valley in Southern California. At this point no construction work has even begun on our project and we have yet to receive anything to show for our deposit. I’m ashamed to say that we have already given a deposit of 18% of our total contracted amount and had no idea that the state of California law is that an initial deposit is only allowed to be 10% or $1000, whichever is less. We, unfortunately paid a lot more than that. We have had little to no communication wi th our contractor unless it has been initiated by us and still do not have any permits due to incompetence in getting the plans corrected properly. How do we get out of this contract before we actually allow these people to start remodeling our home and allowing more serious problems in the future? More importantly how do we get out of this and manage to get most of our money back and without any legal repercussions? PLEASE PLEASE….any help and advice in this would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Charlene H.
