Contractor walked off job before home done but after being paid 72% of the contract price. PC hired subs to complete work. The total amount paid is approximately 30,000 over the initial contract amount. In any claim against the first builder, I assume in calculating damages, you deduct the amount left due, but not paid, under the initial contract?
