Business ProfileforJCBC Inc

On June 13, my husband, Will and I signed a contract with JCBC Inc. for remodeling a home purchased. The contract price was $33,700. To execute the contract we were required to pay Star ******************** $11,000 for the flooring and $9,000 to JCBC INC. Both cashiers checks were presented on June 14 and the project started the following day. According to the contract we paid an additional $6,850 on the 7th business day of starting the project made out to JCBC INC. The final payment of $6,850 was to be paid upon completion of the project. In the original contract Will and I were going to paint to offset some of the cost. Once the project started, we quickly realized that our schedules wouldn't permit us to paint ourselves. We mentioned this to ******************, the Project Manager of JCBC Inc. and he stated he could send us a quote to paint. We received the quote on June 20 for $4,500 and decided to go with someone else who previously quoted us $2,500. When ****************** heard we were going to use someone else, he quickly said we can paint for the same price of $2,500 on June 27. The same day he agreed to do the painting, he stated that he was going to need to hire a sub-contractor to tape and do the skimming of the walls to meet HIS EXPECTATIONS and that the additional money needed was to come out of the remaining budget. On June 29, we gave ****************** a cashiers check for $5,000, $2,500 for the painting and $2,500 for the sub-contractor which would leave a balance of $1,850. The job was suppose to be completed on Friday, July 1, needless to say it wasn't finished. On July 7, he stated that he needed a check for $1,800 in order to pay his workers for the week, We presented a cashiers check for the $1,800 in good faith. The finished date was scheduled for Friday, July 15. Wednesday, July 13 we received an invoice for unforeseeable in the amount of $7,500. Many of the items on the invoice were included in the original contract. We attempted to meet with ******************.
