He should be paid for the amount of services rendered that enriched you in terms of property appreciation due to a new kitchen compared to before the initiation of remodeling. You may obtain estimates from three licensed kitchen remodelers regarding the value of services rendered. If he is not a licensed construction co., he is practically out of luck in New York; this may be your trump card.

Do not default in filing an answer with the court or you lose automatically. Retain counsel.
