Legal Question in Construction Law in Virginia

I performed work on a project in Virginia

for a home improvment company based in Maryland. They have paid aprx. 80%

of my invoiced charges, but do not want to pay the remainder. If legal action were to proceed, which jurisdiction takes precedence, that of

the project location, or the company

headquarters location? They do have a

license to do business in Virginia.

(The State Corporation Commission in Richmond should be able to verify whether there's such a registered agent.)
