Am I in trouble from HOA company?

[Tina Lee]

I bought an old condo, and had my handyman and his guys went to do some work at house. Painting and floor installation and new kitchen cabinate. Now the job is almost done and management company is asking me for work compensation and insurance say I have un-authorized job done.  What’s my best option to argue there. I can just say I only paint the wall with my friend and paint the floor and paint kitchen cabinate. What else can I do in this case to dispute or to make things easy now that I already renovated the apartment. Any experience ?

thank you

 There is probably not much management can do, but I would also not lie. Tell them I had this done and I was unaware of the requirement and will abide next time.
