It sounds like you may have a valid counter-claim against the contractor. You should file the counter-claim and gather all your evidence to present it in court. If it's small claims court, you should be able to do all the paperwork and represent yourself. The court may have a form you can fill out to file your counterclaim. The court may also make you do mediation, and the two of your might agree to a settlement, but make sure you file your counterclaim before mediation or anything else happens in the case.
