I entered into an oral agreement with a contractor to perform work on my home. The basis for the job was time and material, eighteen months after the completion of the work the contractor is asking for more money claiming that the job was based on square footage. I have all the records that tracks the contractors time and I have paid for all materials and any receipt that the contractor gave me for his out of pocket expenses. Is there any basis for this case, I understand that he will claim that we had a different agreement in court but is there any provision in the statute of fraud that would prevent this type of behavior. I have looked at the statute and it talks about the sale of goods in excess of $500, the work that was performed was well in excess of that amount. I am trying to avoid excessive legal bills as a result of his unfounded request. Is there precendent or information that i can research to dismiss this.
