How do I sue a contractor in Georgia for unfinished work and extra charges?

In Georgia
Last Updated: Mar 20, 2026
I paid a contractor for home repairs, but they stopped showing up and sent a new invoice for “unexpected” costs. I have texts, photos, and the original quote. What steps should I take before filing, and what compensation can I claim?

Before we can give you precise legal guidance, could you please confirm in which country this issue occurred? Construction and contractor disputes depend heavily on local law. If this is in Georgia, we can briefly review your case within our free consultation scope. Based on what you described, you may have grounds to challenge the additional invoice and potentially claim damages for non-performance and delays. A key first step is to formally document the breach and respond in writing to the contractor, attaching your evidence (texts, photos, original quote).
