Construction Issues in California

[Vi Huang]

I was wondering if anyone can please give advice on how to get my contractor to finish up my project. We are building an ADU in California and he was supposed to be done by end of April. It is now mid July and he still has a fair amount of work to do. We're almost at the finish line but we've been "almost done" for the last 3 months. Now that we're putting the finishing touches, I've noticed some issues with craftsmanship and am concerned that having him fix these issues will further delay us. I have told him that I will share my experience on social media if he doesn't finish by today but we still have quite a bit left to do. Hoping some flippers or attorneys might be able to share how they've been able to get contractors to move quickly or if anyone has advice on what the best next steps are to ensure we finish up soon. If he actually sends people to work I'm guesstimating that there's maybe 1 or 2 weeks of work left to do at most but I see 1 or 2 things done each week.
