I am a contractor that handles mostly storm damage claims.I got my customer approved for a new roof do to storm damage. The insurance originally paid out $7,ooo for the damages. When i removed the old shingles all of the decking was damaged so I filed for a supplement to replace all of the plywood. So I do the work after getting the supplement approved by the insurance company, and the homeowner refuses to pay me the supplement check . He says he is keeping it. What can I do about this?

File for a lien against the home and charge interest. Once you file the lien I'm betting the homeowner starts singing a different tune.
But I'm betting there is a reason the homeowner is giving for not paying you for part of the work. If so, you may want to see if you can work out that difference of opinion.

The homeowner is trying to act very smart about this. However, you shouldn't get dithered. Once you charge interest the picture is bound to change.
