fired due to unforseen issues
Our client gave us a deposit at the end of March 2009. Due to bad weather we needed 4 or more days to start the roof removal. She agreed to ''replace'' and buy the few sheets of plywood if needed. She also claimed that her husband already replaced the plywood on one side. We started that side first and found no plywood under any of the roof shingles/cedar shake. Instead of ''replacing'', she needed all the plywood for us to finish the job and refused the additional work order to purchase and install the new plywood. Now, she fired us for not doing the job. The shingles she picked out are $2,500 for the whole roof and the plywood is around $800. The original work order was for $5,000 and the additional work order was $2000. There was two layers of roof and a container costing $450 was rented. We also have labor at approx. $100 per worker a day. She refuses to give any extra money and now the roof is open on 1/2 side with a tarp protecting the contents of her attic. Can she just cancel the job? There was no plywood to replace because there was no plywood.
