I'm unclear if you are looking to get the work completed or if you don't want your mother to pay the amount the contractor claims.  If you want to get the work done, then get a quote from another contractor and deduct that from the total amount due and hire someone else.  If you don't want to pay the contractor for work he hasn't done or for unsatisfactory work, then try to work it out with him.  You may need an attorney to help you with this.
