John, I've been involved in alot of litigation and disputes because of the work I do as a Bankruptcy Trustee. Just remember, you catch more flies with honey. As the saying goes, let them lift their head a little higher before you hit them. I would try to be as amicable as possible while expressing your concerns, possibly even a letter in a none threating tone. Then, when you are happy with the finished product and have a decent working relationship, you may want to address the problems with the contract. Also, remember, if the law is similiar to Canada, the contract can also place a Builder's lien on your property if not paid in full.
