Contractor Issues Project Timeline is Too Long

Hi BP Community-

I need some advise on a current rehab that is going south. Most of these issues are self-inflicted but I need help on next steps.

First, my contractor and I have a handshake agreement on the rehab of my house. We have an agreed price and scope but there are no time penalties and time is bleeding right now. The contractor has taken over 2 months to preform the work to date and I feel trapped with him now. I would like to pressure the contractor to finish the work but do not feel I have much leverage.

Second, I would like to move on from him after this week but am concerned about a lien if I fire him and we can agree on a price for his services so far.

Besides the obvious of taking care of my business better in the future, how would you handle this situation? Thanks for any and all ideas.
