Signed a contract with JW Handyman Services in April to construct a new bathroom in an existing home and replace windows with new windows. ** subbed out work to bottom of the barrel subs who did bad work. Work is still not complete. One sub is threatening to put a lien on our house because they have not been paid for work, even though we have paid JW $56,000 to date. One injured themselves and disappeared, and left us a ****** mess for us to clean up!JW Handyman Services texted us that they have "decided to give the rest of [our] contract to ******* [the latest subcontractor]" and that they are "removing [themselves] from the contract in its entirety". I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you can't transfer a contract between two parties to a new third party, especially not without our consent.This entire project has been a nightmare and I don't know if there is any way to claw back the funds I've already paid so that I can have enough to pay a new contractor what it will cost to 1) finish the job and 2) fix the mess that the current contractor has from incompetent work, and possibly enough to pay the subs who claim JW owes them money for work on our house. I haven't even scratched the surface of the whole story on how terrible this contractor is.*******, we looked up the "contractor" ************************* and it appears he doesn't even have a valid contractor's license and not sure he should even be subbing out work he may not be qualified to do himself. I don't believe permits were pulled and I am concerned the property renovations may not be legal and I'm sure this puts additional financial burden on me.
