Yes. If you hired us, the first step would be to get a written estimate from a licensed contractor, with descriptions of all of the defective work, the work required to fix it, and an estimate of the cost. We would then include that in a letter demanding that he agree to pay that amount. If the cost were less than $10,000.00, you could sue him in small claims court without an attorney. It sounds like more.
If you have a written contract, and the contract includes a provision for reimbursement of legal fees, then the demand letter would include the threat that you will not compromise and will take the case to trial in order to obtain a judgment which includes reimbursement for all your legal fees.
