Business ProfileforIronwood Builders LLC

We hired Ironwood Builders to build an expanded basement, deck/railing, front roof repair, and 2 bathroom upgrades. ******* originally quoted the basement/desk at $180K, then increased it to $257,082. We asked for an additional cost estimate for the front porch, he quoted $30,000 so our working estimate was $287,082. We signed a contract for with all labor, materials, permits, and insurance figured as cost in March 2022 to start May 2022. His contract said he would finish in July 2022, but then he moved to Aug 2022 due to porch. Then he just disappeared.Outside the allowances, we purchased our own bathroom tile/tile labor, basement flooring/labor, bathroom light fixtures, and bathroom plumbing/drain/fixtures separately which should have been backed out of the estimate. He didn't.Through 11 different invoices, he is charging us $288,184.28 to date from a $257,082.50 cost estimate (no 2nd bathroom). No change orders, painting, basement heat, heated basement floor, gutters, heated cable or shingles on the roof and incomplete projects, botched drywall, botched concrete, and missing electrical.We fired him on Dec 20 in writing for incompetence, over budget, past schedule, and price-gouging. My husband also talked to him the next day. We had to pay another GC to complete the 1st bathroom and basement baseboards taking us well over $35,000. ******* keeps paying himself 15% O&P when he has earned none of it. We have texts, emails, and voice messages to support all of the above.We even have a Ring recording where he tells his ********* to squeeze every dime out of us last summer.Our last invoice arrived Feb 13 for $22,000, not the $5000 we agreed to in writing. The invoice includes $12,300 in HVAC quoted at $6500 upon completion. We have no basement heat and it's 45% above the quote. I refused. Now he is demanding $10,000 for HVAC. Only then will he finish the job and demanded $2300 or more on the spot?He is in full breach of contract and extorting us. Pls help.
