I consider myself lucky - a not so hard lesson learned.

His bad work has nothing to with it because he was trying but you terminated the contract which I assume means you fired him. If I hire someone to do a 100 foot fence and they do the fence but it looks like crap, I still have to pay them. Shoddy work or not, I hired them and they built the fence
bad advice --- do not heed.
Only a fool pays for bad work.
the money is the power, with a legit contract and/or scope of work --- you can withhold final payment if you are not satisfied. I do this all the time. Well, I don't have to anymore because my contractors don't even bother to ask for payment ---- they ask if I am SATISFIED......
quick test -- if you are paying your cable company $100 per month, but your TV only works half the time, and when it does work --- it looks bad (poor quality work)
do you pay your bill in full every month while accepting substandard service? It certainly sounds like it.
Me ---- I call, get credits for days, demand a supervisor is out here and get my shite running ASAP, go ahead and upgrade my internet speed - for free, and shite - throw in Sunday ticket while your at it.

Your money is gone. Did you check references or anything before hiring him?

And you are as bad as a crappy contractor.

You are a lesson in why God created down payments and remainder upon completion. Live by it and you will come out much better with contractors. They have hella incentive to keep working when they've only been paid half or less.

When we found out him running out of money, he was already several weeks past the contract completion date,
Before you fired him did you ask him if him had a plan on when him would be through?
Hmmmmm

the bonding that little guys like this are referring to when they say they are bonded is really more more of a type of liability insurance implying that they aren't going to sue the owner for getting hurt on their job site, for example
What the shite were you talking here?

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,...
You wanted a Cadillac for the price of a Chevrolet.
If something seems too good to be true, guess what?

What the? No you don't. Bad advice.
You give them the chance to correct it to your satisfaction or you bring in someone who can finish it correctly and pay the guy for materials maybe. But never pay for something in full that doesn't meet your satisfaction or the designers.

But that's what the plans say.

I had a bid for $23,000 worth of work done on my house. When it was time to pay I disputed a few items and ended up paying $19,500. I didn't a penny till all the work was done. I got 5 bids and went with the middle one.

Dude, you are not too smart.
BTW,
Thanks for spending time "fact checking" an anecdote.
Pretty sure I started with "quick test" and not - this is my personal experience.

Why because I expect to get what I pay for? If I receive poor service, I expect to be compensated for that as well.
Hey, my advice was the right way to handle business. If you disagree
volumes. have. been. spoken.
some people always get what they want, others whine about not being able to.

I asked several times. He could never give me a straight answer.

This is precisely why you need to have a lawyer file suit on your behalf.
If things really are as you say, there shouldn't be any reason why you can't get a judgment against the guy. Actually collecting it may be a little tricky, depending on the solvency of the guy, but if you file the judgment, it will always be enforceable.
Get a lawyer, my man.
