Breech of contract b/c of incompetant contractor

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I own a club in philadelphia and I had some construction work done to my place. Just some simple paint work and mirror installs. The contractor gave me an estimate of $2500 with a 50% deposit requierment. So far I only paid him $1250 and all that he did was the paint work. I decided to not continue with the mirror installations because the contractor did not know how to properly install them. He was going to use a product called "Liquid Nails" to glue the mirrors onto my walls. To make a long story short, it turns out that the back label states that Liquid Nails is not recommended for mirrors. Can you imagine what can happen if the mirrors came crashing down onto the crowd on a busy club night? Because of this reason I hired somebody else. I still have the reciept from home depot on the day that I signed the estimate agreement. Can I win???

You did not mention any of these facts in your prior posts which makes me believe that this is not the reason you are in breach of the contract. If you are sued bring this up as a defense but if the defense is made up judges can usually tell.

You have to give the contractor the opportunity to cure the situation, if you don't then you will be in breach.
