I had a deck installed on my house. The contractor quoted me a price of $5064.74 for the job. I signed nothing and there were no other conditions, just a simple "Deck Proposal". At the end of the job, he presented me with an invoice for $5774.04, claiming that he had to rent excavation equipment and charge extra labor to remove large boulders. He never told me about this extra charge until the end. At this point, I have paid him the agreed upon price, but he is expecting payment of the balance.
My questions are:
Do I owe him this money since it was not ever disclosed to me,
If I do not pay, what if any legal action may I expect from him,
Although he said he did, I do not think he ever got the proper permits from the town, can this come back to haunt me if he decides to push the issue?
Thanks.
