2 COMPLETION DATES IN A REMODEL CONTRACT.

2 COMPLETION DATES IN REMODEL CONTRACT.

I am doing my first remodel. I signed the contract, read it as thoroughly as I could but missed something in the fine print.

On the front page, it states a completion date of Dec 14th, 2021, the date he used to get me into the contract.

However, in the fine print somewhere on page 4. He gave himself a completion date of May 2022. 

There have been lots of delays, and also lots of deceitful practices. The delays are costing me extra in rent. So they are a problem, but an even bigger problem is the VERY POOR quality of work and lack of supervision from the GC. He sends subs on site who don't understand what needs to be done and do not complete the work on the day they are sent. So the GC doesn't understand what work is left to complete. He keeps making me promise that it's only 4 more hours. When I go to the site, I see that it's at least 3 or 4 more days.  

I am looking to hire a lawyer to cancel the contract. I won't be in consultation with one until next week, until then would appreciate your feedback. 

Be easy on me, this is a big learning opportunity. Knowing what I know now, I would do a lot of things differently especially having a lawyer review the contract before I sign it.
