How to Get Money Back From a Damaged Pool

So I recently had a PNC call, a potential new client call where the client had hired a contractor to install a pool, a tremendous amount of landscaping in the backyard and was having issues not only with completing the job, but defective work. And during that consultation, I explained to the potential new client that if you sign a contract for, say, for 200,000 and you’ve paid him 150,000 you have the right to hire somebody else typically to complete the job.

And you will have to pay somebody the additional 50,000. And then your damages would be anything after the 200,000 you originally contracted to pay. That would be the damages against their original contract. For example, if you, it’s costing another 150,000 to fix all the defective work, so technically you’re going up to 300,000 then your damage would be 100,000 and potentially attorney fees and costs if the contract with the the contractor provides for that.
