I'm having a big issue with a general contractor who just finished flipping a house for me.

Contractor wrote me initial contract for $39,000. I signed it.

Work began and a few change orders had to be made, one for $5,350 for plumbing, electrical, hvac another for $8,000 shingles, painting cabinets, staircase, I signed both. Total for project now $53,850.

Now contractor sends me final bill and says with overages and add ons the total is $73,000. Work has been completed and we have paid $62,000 to date. She is threatening placing multiple liens on the house. I have asked for an itemized list of all charges, material costs ect and she will not provide me with one.

Any insight that you have even if it is very preliminary is much appreciated during this time of uncertainty. Many thanks to any and all who have experience or knowledge surrounding this issue!
