CONTRACTOR HELP! Issues & advice please

[Monique Pett]

HI guys. 

I am struggling to get one of my projects in Indy done. 

I started off and paid someone who completely lied about credentials $10k to start the job. He was trash. 

Hired another guy to finish. Everything was going great and then he falls off and I can’t get in touch with him. No one can. And he has around $7k worth of money that he has done nothing with. 

Then I got a third quote for 20% more than my Inital 2 estimates but I know he’s legit. 

What do you guys do in this situation? Definitely getting legal involved and tapping their insurance for sure. 

Does anyone have a reliable gc that won’t cost an arm and a leg at this point? 

Any advice is appreciated. 

Thanks guys
