FIFY

Oh and, you'll never see a dime of that money back. You should've used Amazon Home services, they background check and perform a quality check on contractors that use their platform. Angie's List will even guarantee the work of the contractor up to $10K if shoddy work is performed. You should've done a better job researching contractors, I guess this is a hard lesson for you to learn.

Indeed. And I agree. It's actually really tough to get a good contractor in my town. Most are incredibly busy and won't answer phone or respond to messages. I got quotes from 3 different people. 1 guy we liked, but he would not respond after giving me the initial quote. Another guy was good, but a little out of our price range. The guy we went with was the lowest bid, obviously, but he seemed really organized and had some experience, but we would have liked for him to have more experience. It came down to us just wanting to get the stuff done and were tired of dealing with getting quotes.

It's our fault for not spending more time, and yeah, a hard lesson learned.
