You can set a new deadline in writing by which the contractor must complete the work, and if he doesn't, then you can hire another contractor to finish the work and charge him for it. Then you can sue him for the balance. If it's less than $10,000, you can sue in small claims court.
Next time, reserve some money until the work in completed to your satisfaction and get payment releases along the way.
