I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you might have a case for breach of contract. However, I need to know in which state the contract was made to provide the most accurate information. Could you please provide this?

It seems like you may have a valid breach of contract claim. In Kentucky:
- A contract is legally binding.
- If one party doesn't fulfill their obligations, it's a breach.
- You can potentially sue for damages.
You might need a lawyer to help with your case.
They are trying to say that we hired other contractors to finish the job,which we did not,can they use that as a defense
In Kentucky, the burden of proof lies with the defendant, who must show that you hired other contractors. If they can't prove it, it's likely not a valid defense. Always consult a local attorney for tailored advice.
Can we get someone to finish the job now that they haven't finished
Yes, you can hire someone else to finish the job. However, you should document all expenses as this may be recoverable if you decide to sue the original contractor for breach of contract. Always consult with a local attorney before proceeding.
