More details to this question:
The roofer took and cashed our check of $5,000 then kept putting off starting the job. He'd give us a date, then not show up and give us a new date a few days later. This went on for 5 weeks until we finally told him we just wanted our money back. He was supposed to give us a cashier's check on July 29th, and now the same thing has been happening to get our refund. It has now been 15 days. What actions can we take to get our money back?

The roofer is clearly not going to refund your money voluntarily. I doubt that he has it. Your best recourse is probably to sue him, although it sounds as if you may have a hard time collecting even if you obtain a judgment.
