More details to this question:
I hired a contractor to remove an oil tank from underground my front yard, he did a sloppy job and didn't finish what was agreed to per our contract. He also charged extra money for unnecessary work, contract was agreed for work at $1,000, and he charged $1,300, in result of his sloppy job the insurance didn't cover my claim and dropped me from the policy because he refused to present certificate of completion. I need to file a civil lawsuit in small claims court, what amount can I claim beside the $1300, in order to compensate for his breach of contract?

You can claim all of those charges in a civil suit in small claims court. You should itemize all of the additional expenses, costs to replace the coverage, and what ever out of pocket costs you had because of the breach of contract.
