Legal Question
unsigned contract
I am a licensed contractor. I agreed
to paint a house for $3k but was
unable to get the contract signed by
the home owner before completion of
the job. I received a $1k deposit and
$1k during the job. The job is
complete and the homeowner
refuses to pay me the $1k balance
because they feel the unsigned
contract gives them the ability to
modify the price. They have a copy of
the original contact as do I. I have a
copy of the deposit check stating
''1,000 deposit, 2,000 balance''. Do I
have any legal options even though
the contract is unsigned? Thanks!
