I'm not catching your drift on this one. If i think what your
askng is, can the contractor re-estimate. I believe he can, or
other wise he would have to eat it. Unless it's in the
contract, he may have to eat it, or he can walk off the job.
Hit you with a lien on your house. Best bet is work this out
as amicably as you can. How much more are we talking here?
It's possible he made an honest mistake.
