We concluded this meeting with a handshake and you told us your final quote for this work would be $490. You agreed to email us an estimate to sign. You did email us an estimate on 3/2/16 for $1091.25 with a $500 credit, totaling $591.25. We asked you to update this estimate because it included installing tile to the floors and grouting floors, which we didn't need.

I am rejecting this response because: We want to settle this dispute by offering you $746.45 and it is ready to send in the mail as we speak. We just need your OK. There is no need for you to waste any more time by going to court when we can settle this here because I am sure you have more important things to deal with. Please Jim, if you can be so kind, to take the amount of $746.45 and we can all be on our own way. We are also going through a lot with our own lives and dealing the failing health of one of our close family members putting a big toll on us, we all do not need to carry this dispute over us. We are very sorry that this turned out the way it did and we want to pay you for your work. You don't need to waste any more time worrying about getting paid since it's all ready to send in the mail as we speak. We already wrote the check for $746.45 and signed it. You just need to receive it. Please understand that by allowing this dispute to be over by taking the settlement amount we have ready for you, you are helping a lot of people. Our family, your company, and us.We would like to settle this matter and pay you the full amount from our original estimate, $591.25, plus the materials listed on the invoice, totaling altogether $746.45, without asking you to return to complete the work. Instead of requesting you accept our payment of $490, the original estimate, we are willing to pay the full $591.25 to cover the cost of your time for showing us how to level the bathroom floors.Below is a timeline of events we have archived for your review.On Tues, Feb 23rd, 2016 you came to our home to go over the details of our bathroom project. We asked what your price would be to remove wall, shower, and floor tile, install new drywall/backer board, remove wall mirror, and install new shower tile. You said you could do all of this for $490. We told you to purchase materials and we would reimburse you for those supplies. You shook both of our hands and agreed to email us an official contract.On Wed, Mar 2nd, 2016 you emailed us an estimate for $1,091.25, minus a $500 credit. This estimate included install and grout tile to flooring. We asked you to remove this line item and update the estimate as we did not need tile or grout on the floors. We assumed the updated estimate would total $490 since that was the price we shook hands on Tues, Feb 23rd. You agreed to update this estimate but never did. The quote also states “-$500 credit back and pay it forward. I factored in my regular pricing and took out what I want to give back to you guys. I remember how it was when I was a newlywed and just starting out.” The invoice you sent on Sun, Mar 20th, 2016 does not reflect this $500 credit.At no point during the renovation did you present a revised estimate, change orders, or discussed with us that the work being done would cost more than the original agreed upon price of $490. We assumed that all work being done would remain within the scope of our original estimate, going over 25% max.On Sun, Mar 20th, 2016 we expressed our concerns via phone, text, and email asking when the tile grout would be completed. When we learned it would take another week before completing the grout, we stated that we did not want to continue services with you and would complete the grout ourselves. We asked to renegotiate the original estimate since work was not complete with the option to discuss appropriate payment to you in a win/win situation. We understand if you felt as though we were trying to get out from paying you, but this was no where near our intention. Our intention was to come to a fair amount since work was not complete.After attempting to discuss our options with you over the phone, you emailed us an invoice for $2,150.45, an amount that is 4x the original estimate.On Sun, Mar 27th, 2016, you proposed via text message that you would settle for $1,000 by month’s end.As mentioned in the beginning of this message, you will be helping us tremendously by receiving this settlement. We are already dealing with tremendous stress with one of our family members being sick. Please take our money to settle this dispute and you will be freeing up your time to do what's important to you while also allowing us to deal with more important matters. We hope you have the heart to understand and take our settlement money we are offering. The bottomline is, by accepting this settlement you would be getting paid and allowing us to put our energy on our current family crisis. Please understand.

You said you could do all of this for $490. We told you to purchase materials and we would reimburse you for those supplies. You shook both of our hands and agreed to email us an official contract.
On Wed, Mar 2nd, 2016 you emailed us an estimate for $1,091.25, minus a $500 credit. This estimate included install and grout tile to flooring. We asked you to remove this line item and update the estimate as we did not need tile or grout on the floors. We assumed the updated estimate would total $490 since that was the price we shook hands on Tues, Feb 23rd. You agreed to update this estimate but never did. The quote also states “-$500 credit back and pay it forward. I factored in my regular pricing and took out what I want to give back to you guys. I remember how it was when I was a newlywed and just starting out.” The invoice you sent on Sun, Mar 20th, 2016 does not reflect this $500 credit.
At no point during the renovation did you present a revised estimate, change orders, or discussed with us that the work being done would cost more than the original agreed upon price of $490. We assumed that all work being done would remain within the scope of our original estimate, going over 25% max.
On Sun, Mar 20th, 2016 we expressed our concerns via phone, text, and email asking when the tile grout would be completed. When we learned it would take another week before completing the grout, we stated that we did not want to continue services with you and would complete the grout ourselves. We asked to renegotiate the original estimate since work was not complete with the option to discuss appropriate payment to you in a win/win situation. We understand if you felt as though we were trying to get out from paying you, but this was no where near our intention. Our intention was to come to a fair amount since work was not complete.After attempting to discuss our options with you over the phone, you emailed us an invoice for $2,150.45, an amount that is 4x the original estimate.
On Sun, Mar 27th, 2016, you proposed via text message that you would settle for $1,000 by month’s end.
As mentioned in the beginning of this message, you will be helping us tremendously by receiving this settlement. We are already dealing with tremendous stress with one of our family members being sick. Please take our money to settle this dispute and you will be freeing up your time to do what's important to you while also allowing us to deal with more important matters. We hope you have the heart to understand and take our settlement money we are offering. The bottomline is, by accepting this settlement you would be getting paid and allowing us to put our energy on our current family crisis. Please understand.

I have given the proper 10 notice, which was acknowledged by the cinsumer, that a mechanics lien will be filed for services and material supplied. I feel the professional way to finalize this is to go let the court settle this civially.
