Sounds like you might have a breach of contract on your hands. Contractor cases can be a little tricky - very fact specific. I'd say you'd be well served having a consultation with an attorney (many offer free consultations). To answer your questions specifically as to what kind - I would suggest a civil litigator/business litigator, ideally one that has dealt with construction issues. Make sure you have the contract and make sure you are documenting the timeline, result of communications, etc. Sometimes these things are able to get back on track without the lawyers getting too involved, but sounds like you should at least know your legal options... and a consultation should get you there at least.
