Can I sue a contractor in Israel for delays and defects if I only have WhatsApp agreements?

Question

I hired a contractor to renovate my apartment, but the work is months late and there are clear defects. Most of our terms were agreed over WhatsApp and I paid in several bank transfers. What evidence do I need and what steps should I take before filing a claim?

Hello,

WhatsApp messages can definitely define the terms of your contract especially if there is no other written contract. The payements are the best proof a contract was really defined by the parties. Feel free to contact me for further details and representation.
