Well, the Legal Action impression could work. I'm not that type of person. Since you asked what *I* would do, I would post over the internet and spread the word about it and if he have no business, then he has no work, and nobody would be hurt the course you were. If you spread it on the internet, then closely of people would find it. (lots of internet users in 2008) It be probably uneven to begin near. Could be why it had buckled. You should've told him to make sure the floor be even. If you didn't, then I'd say, he did his profession.
Answers: You don't want to hear this right now (I know! lol) but the "buyer beware" adage could be a victorious legal defense for your contractor. Is the warranty for the wood they placed or, somehow, for customer satisfaction?
Perhaps getting refusal word out will help you. Posting on sites like this is a upright start, but like the poster above said...the web is forever.
-- Yelp is a great place to look/post. (www.yelp.com)
-- The Better Business Bureau (http://welcome.bbb.org) It seem old fashioned but look-up the company. You may not be alone.
I recently renovated my apartment here surrounded by nyc and one of the subcontractors made three different mistakes on the wooden floors over the course of the project. I'm patient (and wouldn't ever sue unless it truly couldn't be settled).
I know it's after the fact, but other hold a percentage of the payment until you are satisfied. Put it within the contract. If they won't agree to that, it doesn't show much confidence. Since I had some leverage with the remaining go together, the contractor hired another flooring company to make it perfect.
Take allowed action against him. Contact the Better Business Bureau & The Consumers Protection Board in your state. File claims! Trust me it works!
