CONTRACTOR TAKES A SLEDGEHAMMER TO THE BATHROOM HE SAYS HE WAS NOT PAID FOR!!
Was he owed his money, or was the homeowner right to hold back payment until the work was inspected?
This one is from our state. In Colorado Springs, a contractor goes back into a bathroom he remodeled and smashes it, saying the work is his property until he gets paid. According to news reports, the homeowner said she paid part of the bill and held the rest pending inspection, and he later pleaded guilty to criminal mischief.
Most families deal with a contractor at some point, and both sides of this hit home. Small contractors live on getting paid, and when a customer holds money back it can wreck their month. If he truly believed he was being stiffed, that frustration is real. But the moment he picked up a sledgehammer inside someone's home, he lost the argument. Liens, small claims court and contracts exist for exactly this situation. As for the homeowner, holding money until an inspection is reasonable if the contract allows it, and we'd want that spelled out in writing before any work started in our house. Clear terms protect both people. Destroying the work protects nobody, and the court apparently agreed.
