Hello, I have a question regarding who is responsible for this payment.
I had two contractors working on my house. One was for remodeling, and the other was for working on the siding. Due the space limitations on my driveway, I suggested for the contractor who worked on the siding to share a dumpster with the one focused on the remodeling. I suggested this to both contractors, and we were able to come to an agreement on the phone. During this conversation, the contractor who worked on the siding agreed to pay the fee.
Originally, the remodeling contractor included this fee in our invoice, but we told him to talk to the siding contractor directly per our previous agreement. Before we gave the final payment to the remodeling contractor, he informed us that he was able to get into contact with the siding contractor and said that the siding contractor will pay him. However now, after a month and a half has passed, the remodeling contractor emailed us telling us that he has not received the check from the siding contractor. In this email, he told us that this issue is our responsibility and heavily implied that we should pay for the dumpster fee for the siding contractor.
Am I responsible for this fee, or is this something the two contractors should settle by themselves?
Thank you.
