We hired a contractor to fix our house and they got someone to do the awning. Well they hung it wrong, which not only looks bad but makes my gutters wrong. Instead of fixing it they say we have to deal with it that they were not going to do it. They also said if we fix it they will only take $200 off of our bill, but it is going to take more then that to hire someone to fix it. Should I talk to a lawyer or are they right when they say there is nothing I can do about it.

If its not fixed right by them ( wheres your warranty) call better business bureau and then a lawyer work must be under warranty Was it by a licensed contractor ? are they Insured ???Do Not repair yourself you may void any and all warranty's and do not pay more to them to fix what they didnt DO RIGHT !!!

i work at a contractors office and i know if we subcontract someone to do work for your house but it is listed under our contract that we are handling it, we are fully responsible for that. Hopefully they are licensed and insured and you signed a contract when you hired them. Did you? because usually listed in contracts it will say "our work is warrantied for a year from finish date" etc. so i am hoping before you went ahead & did this, you did sign some form of documents. If after repeated attempts of telling them to fix the problem that they signed on to do for you and threatening to report to better business bureau and lawyers, they still dont fix it then most definitely make it a legal matter.

Anyone who is hired by your contractor to do a job is the contractor's problem to deal with, not yours. Your contractor is responsible to get the awning fixed and correct, and at no additional charge. Tell them they have to do it or you are calling the consumer protection agency and the attorney general's office IMMEDIATELY! Then, do so.

As I always advise, please confirm this answer with a CPA Yes you are right, you do not have to provide 1099's to incorporated businesses. However, if they are individuals, or LLC's and you have paid them more than $600 for the year, then a 1099 is required. Therefore, I would advise you to have everyone (not incorporated) that you contract to fill out a W-9 form and sign with either their Tax ID (businesses) or their Social Security number (for individuals). If at the end of the year your bookkeeping shows more than $600 paid to them, then you must submit a 1099.

Of course they will say no to begin with as most people WILL take no for an answer. Stand your ground. Read the agreement you signed with them and pull out all the parts that support your case. They are wrong and they know it and you just need to push them.
